Move from Center / Copy from Center

Moves or copies an object from its geometric center.

Description

This tool allows you to move or copy objects by automatically using their geometric center as the base point.

Efficiency
Instead of manually calculating or snapping to the center of a complex shape (like an H-Beam), this tool automatically detects the center based on a bounding box selection.
Automation
It temporarily handles Object Snaps during the operation and restores them afterward.
Compatibility
This is a dedicated Cadopilar Lisp tool and works only within Cadopilar.

How to use

The tool calculates the center of this selection area as the "Base Point".

The object is moved or copied with its center aligned to the destination.

  1. 1.Type mcen (to move) or ccen (to copy) in the command line and press Enter.
  2. 2.Click the Bottom-Left Corner of the area surrounding the object.
  3. 3.Click the Top-Right Corner of the area.
  4. 4.Click the Destination Point where you want to place the object.
