how to find the centre of a rectangle?
(OP)
Hi Guys,
is there an easy way to position a rectangle from its centre? I have been doing this in the sketcher by setting up dimensions and reference lines, just wondering if there is a quicker way?
cheers,
James

Some other software that I have used has a function to create a rectangle from a center point that is just an automated version of the crossed lines approach that I mentioned above. You could probably create a little journal to automate that in NX if you do it all the time.

thanks for the tips guys! - a couple of steps it will stay. I always try to keep things as simple as possible just to remove chances of errors creeping in.
