Centreline dimensions

Re: Centreline dimensions
Sorry for taking so long to respond... I missed this post for some reason...
In a sketch, toggle on "Centerline" mode, and create a line to be used as the revolution axis. (You can also create the axis first or use an existing line, and then change it to a centerline.) When you place the dimension, select the centerline axis first, then the other geometry. This will create a diametric dimension about the centerline axis.
When you create the revolution, Inventor will automatically select the open or closed profile and revolve it around the centerline (at least it does in 200. (See screenshots)
Is this what you are looking for?
