mid point align for just one line to align where ever on a different line

[cekuhnen]

red line I would like to midpoint constraint to the white line meaning

the red line is centered with its mid point onto the white line and I can slide it along the white line.

currently midpoint constraints both lines to each other

also mid point of a line onto a curve would be awesome.

Is this different from just adding a Coincident constraint between a line's midpoint and another curve?

[cekuhnen]

ah how can you make a coincident constraint of a line midpoint and another curbe/line?

[GRSnyder]

Select the Point tool and hover near the midpoint of the line - the midpoint will highlight with a triangle symbol when you're close enough. Click to create the midpoint. Then select Coincident in the contraints palette, click on the point you just created, and then click on the curve you want to constrain the midpoint to. Voila!

Sometimes Fusion 360 seems to let you select midpoints on line segments automatically, but often it doesn't. I haven't figured out exactly which contexts require the explicit Point, but that option will always work.

Constraints are always bidirectional - you can't say "this midpoint lies on this curve" without also saying "this curve goes through this midpoint". If you want only the midpoint to be mobile, you'll have to constrain the curve separately.

Ah I see you use a point in between with two lines. I thought you were only using two lines!

Thank you for your idea - this is getting moved to future consideration.  It is in our back log to make the mid point available for constraints.  Meaning you can select the midpoint and not the entire line in your example.
