Selecting Midpoints with Dynamic Highlighting

You can dynamically highlight and select midpoints on sketch entities and model edges to add relations. You can also dynamically highlight and select midpoints of sketch entities while dimensioning in sketches.

Previously, you could only select midpoints of model edges while dimensioning using Select Midpoint from the shortcut menu. However, on selection of a second midpoint on another entity, the first entity was cleared.

To select midpoints with dynamic highlighting:

  1. Hover over a midpoint on a sketch entity or model edge.
    The entity and its midpoint are highlighted.
  2. Select the midpoint.
    Selecting midpoints with dynamic highlighting is only available for lines, arcs, and model edges in sketch mode.
    Dynamic highlight of the midpoint of a sketch entity
    Dynamic highlight of the midpoint of a model edge
