The center mark tool is designed to create an associative center mark entity on circles and arcs.

Default UI Menu: Draw/Point/Centre Mark

Ribbon UI Menu:

To create a center mark:

1. Start the Center Mark tool.
2. Click on an arc or circle.

If the associated arc or circle is moved, the center mark will move with the entity. However, moving the mark separately will disassociate it from its related entity. A center mark that is not associated can be created by simply clicking anywhere in the drawing space, except on a circle or arc.

Properties

Show Extensions: Sets whether the extension lines are shown or not. Cross size: Set the size of the center mark cross. The cross size, by default, is designated as a multiple of X, where X is the radius of the associated circle/arc. For example 0.5x would be a center mark of 1/2 the radius. Gap size: Sets the size of the gap between the cross and the extension lines. The gap size, by default, is designated as a multiple of X, where X is the radius of the associated circle/arc. For example 0.2x would be a center mark of 1/5 the radius. Left: Sets the distance the Left extension line will go beyond the radius of the associated arc/circle. Right: Sets the distance the Right extension line will go beyond the radius of the associated arc/circle. Top: Sets the distance the Top extension line will go beyond the radius of the associated arc/circle. Bottom: Sets the distance the Bottom extension line will go beyond the radius of the associated arc/circle. Rotation: Sets the rotation angle of the center mark.
