After the objects are selected, the point is moved to the middle of the line.

The middle points are marked with a special sign.

TUI Command:

Sketch_1.setMiddlePoint(Point, Line)

• object – A line.

Returns

Result object.

Created middle point.

Result

Created Middle point constraint appears in the view.
