Question
Hi Borge,

I have a retangle with sides A and B, and inside the retangle I have a circle.

How can I put the circle centered in that retangle?

Regards,

Cristal

Answer
Cristal,

Create a construction line thru midpoints of sides A1 & A2; same with B1 & B2. Constrain center of circle to the intersection of the construction lines. That way, if dims A_ or B_ changes, the circle will always remain parametrically centered in the rectangle. Hope this helps, let me know.
