How to place a point at the center of bounded plane
How to place a point at the center of bounded plane
(OP)
I am trying to set a point at the center of a bounded plane but it appears that all options end up with a random cursor pick. Is there a way to place a point and be sure it is in the center of the bounded plane.

I have a suggestion, just create line by connecting some points of your bounded plane to identify the center and put your point there. Hope I able to help. Thanks.

Thanks cgelang
There are several different shapes but I will try your method. That sounds like it might give me what i want but I was hoping for something a little more parametric that could change as the bounded plane changed.

...and with the 'Associate' option toggled ON, select the solid and hit OK. Now you will already HAVE a point at the centroid of the 'bounded plane' (just Hide the solid) and what's more, if you edit the bounded plane and the solid updates, the point will as well and remain at the 'Centroid' of the bounded plane.
