Circle Center Point

Post by ov10fac » Thu Sep 26, 2019 4:38 pm

Is it possible to draw a circle and have the center point drawn at the same time. When building machines the center point of a circle is pretty important. Right now the only way I know of to actually lock the center point is to draw two lines perpendicular to each other then group them and align horizontal and vertical with the previously drawn circle. Seems to ba a lot of work for something so trivial. Just a thought.

What do you think about a one click solution? I use CS (Centerline Cross).
Draw a circle, launch CS, check the option bar for the desired settings, click the circle, done.
