Allignment of Text with any simitrical object

Autocad 2007

I tried to place the text ABCDE inside of one rectangle (drawn by polyline), in such a way that, the text should be exactly at "Middle Centre" of that rectangle.

I could achieve this 90% purely by my own judgment.

Even when, I tried to draw a rectangle just to touch all 4 sides vertices of the text ABCDE, I could not get any OSNAP points on the text to start a line. Can we treat a "Text" object the way we deal with any other geometrical object - Rectangle, Square, Circle, Triangle or Ellipse?

Please explain the solution step-by-step

Thanks

If you have Express Tools installed:

I am not sure how new this command is or if it was available from 2007 but worth a look...

Make sure

Another solution is to define the text's justification as middle center. Select it, drag it by its insertion point, press Ctrl-rightclick, select Mid Between 2 Points, and pick opposite corners of the rectangle. The same procedure should work for any other polygon except the triangle.

Use _M2P (Mid Between 2 points) and select opposite corners of the Rectangle.
