Dimensioning center line between two objects

Hey Guys,

So I am having trouble dimensioning the centerline between two objects with inventor. I have attached a screen shot of what I am trying to do, I would like to pull a dimension from the end of the HP section to the center between the two "angle pockets," is this possible or do I have to draw a feature for the dimension tool to snap too? Thanks for the help!

Add the centerlines or snap to midpoints.

I was just trying this out because I thought you could snap to midpoints, but the line representing the cut end of the angle is actually 4 individual co-linear lines. Is there a way to make those 4 lines behave like 1 line?

That worked, had to do a little research to figure out what you were talking about. Thanks!
