Hi albehany, usually you would use object snaps to do that using the Transform > Move command to snap on to the center snaps. But since your target object isn't quite exactly circular (it's possibly a sweep?) there isn't a center snap available on it.

So a couple of options are you could use the BoundingBoxCenter command on the target object (http://moi3d.com/3.0/docs/moi_command_reference10.htm#boundingboxcenter) to create a point there to use as the target point in the Transform > Move command, or you could make a circle using Draw curve > Circle > Circles > 3pts snapping 3 points on to its perimeter edge to make a circle that will have a center snap to target, or also draw a line spanning across it and then use the midpoint of the line.

Please let me know if you still have problems doing any of those.

Thank Michael,

first thank you so much I now the problem now why I can't see the center because he is not exactly circular
the shape not sweep just Boolean from box how ever I think maybe there is something wrong with it so I re model it the good news here
1- BoundingBoxCenter command work great for me
2- Circles > 3pts snapping work good I never use this tool and now I will not stop use it :)
3- draw a line spanning across it and then use the midpoint of the line not sure but this one not work for me but I am sure is my problem maybe I don't understand it however my problem is fix so thank you so much you are always have the answer for my question.
