Yes, I've seen this mentioned. I don't have that as my basic SU. Wonder why.

'Arc-Center' part of the shipped_with_Sketchup scripts that need activating from Preference > Extensions before they'll appear in any menus etc...
-
Thanks TIG.
I looked at that before, but nothing there does that for me.
-
If you activate the Preferences > Extension > 'Ruby Script Examples' you get a right-click context-menu item "Point at Center"... but only IF you have an Arc/Circle already selected.
The advantage of using one of the other 'arc_center_point' tools is that activating 'Examples' also loads several other tools you might never need...
If you have an Exploded Arc then you'll need Chris Fullmer's tools to deduce where its center would have been... -
TIG,
Thanks! Sorry I didn't actually try those, because the included scripts are listed and this one isn't mentioned.

Thus the function cannot be disabled/enabled via the "Preferences > Extensions" dialog, just drop to the "\Plugins" sub-folder, restart SU and you're gone.
If someone of the Ruby programming gurus here likes to enhance for the configuration via the extensions dialog, just go ahead.
[Update 12.05.14]Converted to an extension which now can be enabled/disabled via the Extensions dialog and saved in RBZ-Format sothat installation can be done via the Extensions dialog too.[/Update]
