3 Point Center Rectangle Tool doesn't center.

3 Point Center Rectangle Tool doesn't center.

RE: 3 Point Center Rectangle Tool doesn't center.

What SP are you running?  I'm pretty sure that issue was corrected some time ago.

(OP)
Ahhhh... I see. I'm only running 2009 sp0.0, so looks like I need to upgrade. Good to know that it's a bug and that I'm not doing something wrong.

RE: 3 Point Center Rectangle Tool doesn't center.

1) Do you really use that orange background all the time? My eyes would be bleeding within minutes.

2) I'm currently using SW09-SP3 and SW2010 Beta and it's happening in both. It only appears to happen when the centre of the rectangle is in line with the centre of the bar.

You should create a video (Rx or screen capture) and submit it to your VAR.

RE: 3 Point Center Rectangle Tool doesn't center.

Hmm, I was pretty sure they fixed it.  I did submit an SPR for it.  Anyway, in the meantime you can bypass this behavior (behaviour for CBL) by holding down Ctrl while clicking the second point of the three.  Holding down Ctrl prevents automatic relations, which is what is causing the problem.  Downside of this is that you will have to manually create a horizontal or vertical relation to constrain the rectangle's rotation.
