Hi Michael,
I need to mark a centre point of a closed loop (almost a circle) for later reference.
I understand that the [Transform] operations presents the centre [Bounding box center], However, how do I place a permanent Point at that location?
I had a play around but cannot figure this out.

Hi Maysky, you can place a point object as a marker using Draw curve > More > Point:

When I do that, I can no longer locate the aforementioned CenterPloint, to put the point there.
The bounding box and the centre disapear when I select ADDPOINT command.
Even when I tick the [centre] [on] [Tangent] and [perpendicurla] OBJECT SNAPS, I still cannot locate the centre-point of the circle.

Hi Maysky, if the object isn't an exact circle or polygon then there won't be a center object snap. But there is a command named BoundingBoxCenter that you can use to make the point I think you want. To run it, press the tab key to put keyboard focus in the XYZ input control and then type in BoundingBoxCenter and push Enter. Or you can set it on a shortcut key.
