    NX 8.5 Sketch - Dimension Options - Midpoint

    Greetings, I've used later versions of NX before, and while in sketch, and dimensioning, I was always able to select a midpoint of a line and dimension it to something. With NX8.5, midpoint is not even an option with my current set-up. Is this an option to make available? Thanks, Brent
