Centre of Gravity symbol on a Drawing View

What's the best way to get a COG symbol on a drawing view?

I see a post with a last comment from 2016 but hope/expect a simple way to have the symbol visible instead of a center mark.

Oh sorry, that again is a centre mark.

Strange, I can't remember marking the comment as solved.
Now I see a notification from johnsonshiue marking it as accepted.
I especially miss the solution, which is apparent from the response of jameswillo.
What is happening here?

I've used this in the past, works well:

 

use the centermark inclusion like @SharkDesign mentioned. then add the origin indicator from the ordinate dimension.

  1. On the ribbon, click Annotate tab -> Dimension panel -> Ordinate . 
  2. In the graphics window, select the view to dimension.
  3. Place the origin indicator. select the centermark of the center of gravity
  4. click cancel

    the origin indicator is bigger then the center mark so you won't see it. But when your model changes, it will move with the center of grafity.

Thanks Theo, that's a great solution, very useful.
I did 'Insert Sketch Symbol' but this is much more convenient and looks like it's designed that way.

 

@johnsonshiue, maybe an idea to include this in the 'Help'?
