Centering sketches
Centering sketches
(OP)
It' easy to center a circular sketch on a circular solid using a concentric relation, but how do you handle rectangles or squares? Is there an easy way to center a square or rectangular sketch on the square or rectangular face of a solid?
Thanks,
Tom

Or make a Midpoint relationship to the middle of one of lines using some construction geometry.

RE: Centering sketches
This way I use no dimensions to center the sketch.
I can't tell you how many times I have opened parts created by other workers and there are dimensions all over the place, where sketch relations could be used to clean everything up.

RE: Centering sketches
The diagonals of a rectangle are equal length. The diagonals intersect at their mutual centerpoint.
RE: Centering sketches
Or, control select both the origin and the diagonal and make a midpoint relation.
The last method seems to have the benefit of requiring 7 clicks, one less than the others.
RE: Centering sketches
1) Select a plane
2) Start a sketch
3) Stab my "hot key" (I use S)
ITS GOLD!!!!!
