Reset or manually move a Sketch's centre point?

[t_smith5]

Hi

Is it possible to move/edit a Sketch's centre point? One part of my Sketch has the Sketch Point in the centre, but I offset the same circular shape and the centre Sketch Point is slightly above it. Is it possible to edit these and re-position them? Maybe, like with Constraints, get it to snap to the other one?

I did delete the outer one and re-offset it again, which now no longer has another Sketch Point in the centre. But I was just wondering if it can be fixed through a Constraint or tool? I've attached the Sketch in question...

Thanks

A couple of Coincident sketch constraints will do the trick.  Normally you would sketch the circles on the origin when you are creating them.

Hi,

If you say what sketch you are talking about and which elements should be mapped to each other and how, there is a chance of giving a useful answer.

If you load up the attached file, it's the only Sketch that's active/visible. I just forgot to turn off the Components. The area with two Sketch Points in the centre is the centre rectangle shape.

Hi,

An illustrated screenshot would make it much easier to see the situation.

Not fully defined, you get unexpected results.

Another way to control circles and arcs is Concentric.  Clicking any two circular articles can be made concentric, (common / coincident centre points).  

I your case making both circles coincident / concentric where they are now, one has to move to the other, it’s 50/50 which one does the moving, should be the first selected moves but in my time, Fusion would move the wrong one most of time, unless one is fully constrained.  (In your case, a black and then blue circle, the black one stays put.)

Might help.....

Sorry for replying late to this. But thank you. That does the trick nicely. 😄

Also, I wouldn't worry about that separate piece - that's just something I was working on at the time when I noticed those centre points being unaligned.
