CAM Spiral Center Selection

[bmxjeff]

It would be nice to select the center of a Spriral Tool path like an Entry Point. When you select a sketch circle or Model circle, you get the center point.

Now, back to my beer and mill.

Thanks!

You can do this already, all you need to do is have a point to select, you might need to make a sketch with just one point to get what you want.

Mark,

I get your point : )  sorry... anyway, These operations find the center point without needing a sketch. The Sprial tool path is different.

Measure

Maybe it could have the same pull down as the Drill op? Center Surface or Center Point? The truth is, I'm Lazy. I don't like going back and forth from CAM to Model to create a point, then get to recalculate all my Ops. 

Thanks Man!

@keqingsong This one was implemented! Not because of my rad suggestion, but because it was obvious. : )
