Hello,
If I understand you correctly, you wish to find the center of solid body. I would try drawing a line from the edge of the solid circle to the other side. Try to align as close to main distance. Once the line is in place you should see two center points, one will be the lines and the other will be the circles.

Yes but with cilinders this isnt 1:1 accurate.

Just make a projection of the circle hole and you will have center point of it.

Hello,

Maybe you can explain further as I am a bit confused with your referencing to the inner circle on the copy a body/pattern.

I did the following with no problem.

Original, selected the circle face.

Copy body/pattern. Selected the rectangle face.

Perhaps just didn’t understand your request correctly.


I thought you trying to find center of the round body.
