How Do I Change the Centerline in AutoCAD?

Are you looking to change the centerline in AutoCAD? This tutorial will guide you through the steps to accomplish this task. Let’s get started!

Step 1: Select the Centerline

The first step involves selecting the centerline you want to modify. You can do this by using the selection tool in AutoCAD. Simply click on the centerline to highlight it.

Step 2: Access the Properties Panel

Once you have selected the centerline, navigate to the properties panel. You can find it either on the right-hand side or by typing “PROPERTIES” in the command line and pressing Enter.

Step 3: Modify Centerline Properties

With the properties panel open, locate the “Linetype” property. This is where you can change the appearance of your centerline.

Bold Text:

To make your centerline bold, simply click on the dropdown menu next to “Linetype” and select a bold linetype option. This will instantly change your centerline to a bold style.

Underlined Text:

If you prefer an underlined style for your centerline, look for a linetype option that includes an underline symbol or pattern. Select it from the dropdown menu in the properties panel.

List:

If you want a list of possible linetypes, you can use a bulleted list to present them:

  • Dashed
  • Dotted
  • Continuous
  • Dashed with Dots
  • And so on..

Step 4: Apply Changes

After selecting the desired linetype, you can apply the changes by clicking outside the properties panel or pressing Enter. Your centerline will now be displayed with the updated style.

And that’s it! You have successfully changed the centerline in AutoCAD.

Remember, you can always experiment with different linetypes to find the one that suits your project best. Happy CADing!
