Example
The following example shows how to create a point in the center of a rectangular hole. This point may then be used for adjusting the local coordinate system.
In a first step you may select two opposite corner points by using the edge end point selection tool (a).
Afterwards you may open the point list and select both points before pressing the Mean button. Finally a point will be created which is located exactly in the center of the hole (b).
