Sketch a rectangle centered about 0,0.

[thegodplato]

just trying out Inventor 2010 and going through the tutorials but struggling a little. I have drawn the rectangle but can't centre it. In Autocad you could just select the rectangle and move it via the midpoint to wherever you needed. I can't seem to find anything as easy as that in Inventor - unless I'm not looking in the right place!

On one of Rob Cohee's videos on youtube I saw him do it with a vertical and horizontal constraint. The other way I saw before was with a construction line between the two corners of the rectangle, square and a constraint on that.

there is an add in somewhere that we use that gives you the option to start drawing your rectangle from a mid point constraint, or one of the edges mid point... I think it may be called Qube-it tools?
