FIGURE 1.31
Creating a midpoint relation between a centerline and a line

FIGURE 1.32
Making the rectangle symmetric about the centerline


  1. Drag one of the corners of the rectangle from inside the circle and drop it on the
    circumference of the circle itself. The point here is that you want the corner of the cir-
    cle to be right on the circle always. A coincident relation is created by the drag-and-drop
    action. Now when you move either the circle or the rectangle, the other may change in
    size. Try dragging the circle itself, a corner point of the rectangle, or a line of the rectan-
    gle. Try dragging the centerline and the free endpoint of the centerline. Notice that the
    result of moving each different sketch entity is different from any of the others.
