Midpoint line

Fusion offers this function for rectangles and circles, but not where it is most needed: Lines
In Solid (called midpoint line) this takes 2 clicks.
In case it wasn't understood - reference is SolidWorks.
Thanks for the post, @Anonymous. It looks like this suggestion has already been put into the IdeaStation: midpoint-line. It never got very many votes, though, so it has been archived. If enough people want this, we can resurrect the idea.

Of course it has not, because it really is NOT the most needed. It's a nice to have but definitely not needed. I've worked with SW for 14 years professionally and did not need it 😉
Haha. 
You missed counting a bunch. I counted nine. And when the line is supposed to be non horizontally I assume another 8-9. as you need to make them collinear. Plus deleting the circle to be fair. Not bad either 🙂 Anyone better ?
I'm another one that has never needed this so my idea might not be what you're looking for, I don't know in what situation you use it. Anyway I think this method gets the line constrained in 5 clicks and fully dimensioned in 7.

1. There is currently no such mid point line drawing function implemented in Fusion 360.
2. If you feel so strongly enough about it, then please create an idea in the idea station.
3. In the meantime you can follow one of the suggestions provided in this thread.
I did not say that it is not useful of course it is!
Personally I don't care much about the idea station anymore either. Like many area's of Fusion 360 it's a concept study that showed promise but in it's current state is useless to really help drive the product to the next level.
Here's what I think @daniel_lyall was trying to explain, a bit more flexible than my idea.

We have hickups and crashes all day, it gets extremely slow when zooming in, or when you pattern by larger numbers. The fans of our MACs are running even if we don't do anything. Sculpting, which is pretty helpful, is not really connected to forms. etc etc.
If Autodesk wants to target those people, it need do the homework in UX first. My thought....and surely not related to the subject. Sorry for that. Just posting my next basic question in a minute 🙂
I do all of my work on a mid 2010 i7 iMac. While I do also occasionally experience crashes it is fairly infrequent. it also depends on the area of Fusion 360 am working in.
I worked with a complex monster T-Spline with 19K+ faces without crashing and I have another project with 400 components also not crashing. Some of your problems are likely workflow related. If you could create a separate thread for these problems we can address them there and see what might be done about them.
As I mentioned in the other thread you started, working with T-SPlines in a timeline environment is not a god idea for exactly the reason you mentioned. Finish the T-Spline in it's own file, convert it into a BRep and then bring it into the timeline file.
