Hi,

 

Is there any geometric center in Fusion 360, like AutoCAD?

 

Kind Regards,

Arman

I would say the Origin fits that definition.

The Origin is equivalent to AutoCAD 0,0 so what do you mean?  Explain what you truly are thinking you want.

did you mean center of mass?  There is a Center of Mass analysis:

as the tooltip says, this displays a glyph at the center of mass of a component.

Yes, I know that Origin in 3D Modelling is 0,0 , but I meant " Geometric center" which is the center of any regular or irregular geometry shapes.

Thanks for that, it will help me in 3D Drawings, but the thing I am looking for is finding the geometry center in 2D drawings. Let me show you all what I'm looking for in following picture.

If you are going to try and show the Center of Mass for a 3D body or component in a 2D Drawing, this Blog Article and Video will show you how.  By 2D Drawings, I do not mean 2D Model Sketches, that is not possible since the Center of Mass can only exist in a 3D Model.

Use the measure tool with show snap points on, it will show the geometric center of your geometry.
