When Creating a Section View in Drawing mode:
When creating the sketch line on a cylindrical part (or assy), is there a way to snap to the center axis? It seems rather cumbersome to sketch the line first and than add a relation?

Art,
When preparing to sketch your cutting plane line, hoover your cursor over the cylinders edge and note that the center point will appear. This is call "Wake-Up Center Point". After that, go to the top or right and a dashed line will appear letting you know that you are in alignment with the center. After sketching the line, it will be coincident with the center.
I use this method, but it's still not great because you start with the lines endpoint at the center of the cylinder, requiring further editing of some sort or another to make the line then stretch across the part (or use two lines formed in the same way).
