SW2005 Symetric Relations in Drawings??

Question

Using Sw2005 Sp0.1 here is my problem:When im in a drawing, let's say I have a part that is a rectangle. Ithen sketch a centerline across that view, and now I want to makethe sketched centerline symetric to both horizontal model edges. In2004 I am able to do the following:1. Click upper model edge2. Control click sketched line3. Control right click bottom model edge4. Select Symetric from the pop-up menuand the result is a symetric line that extends past the model edgesthat can be used as a sketch for a section line.In 2005 when I use the same procedure, I dont get the option for anyrelation even when I click add relations on the pop-up menu.  I amfinding that I now have to convert the model edges in order to usethem.Is there an option I am missing, or has the ability to use modeledges for relations been removed?Thanks for any help.

The first question I would have is why? You can use SW centerlinecommand to do all this automatically.SoCalMike wrote:

P.I do the same thing as "SoCalMike" in drawings because the SWcenterline command is very limited.  It's almost the same amt of clicksto do it either way.  The major difference, and the reason I don't useSW centerline....You can't do anything with the cosmetic c/l that SWadds.I use my c'ls for a lot of different stuff in drawings and it's painbecause you can't relate anything to these c/l's.  And you cant' cutsections with them...P. wrote:

If this is broke, then that will be a problem when I eventually move to SW2005.  I use the same procedure here as well in SW2004...

I ran into this the other day. I found I had to actually click the "Add Relations" icon to get the relation window to show up in the FMT. In '04 the window popped up automatically whenever an entity was selected. Ahh yet another release of SolidAutoCAD.......
