Point at center
-
hello there,
am i having a very blonde moment? well, at least i have a problem with 'point at center', maybe somebody can help me out here.
in SU5 if you draw a circle (or an arch) you can select it, and in the context menu there is at the bottom 'point at center'. or select the circle, go to edit > circle > point at center. if it is not in the context, then you have to copy the contextmenu.rb from the plugins folder and place it in the SU folder.
in SU6 i just can not find the 'point at center'. it is not in the context by default, copying the contextmenu.rb makes no difference, in edit > circle there is no option for the centerpoint.
i know there is a ruby at smustard called centerpoint, works like a charm with the full circle, but since it sets the centerpoint to the selection, it does not work with the arc. and it is not in the context menu.
so where is it hiding? and how do i get this to the context again?
btw: i tried both mac and pc, latest versions of SU6, same thing with both.

Hi eeva,
Have a look at this thread.
Are you right clicking on the perimeter only or the whole face is selected? -
doh, did not see this other thread.
yes, i was clicking on the perimeter.
and yes, i did solve the problem: i had not checked all the extensions. now i have the point at center again!
thanks gaieus for pointing me in the right direction, and also jean, thank you for the solution!

i have todd burch's centerpoint.rb.
point at center only works for me when i click on the perimeter of a circle.

Andonly with circles and arcs.
The ruby works with any geometry so it is really handy. -
Hi folks.
"Point at center" also works with polygons.
Just ideas.
