Centroid relative to sketch origin

[miketo]

Hello ,

Is it possible to draw a centerline (or a point) through the
Centroid ?
With section properties i can se the Centroid relative to sketch origin but i can't add a relation.

thanks a lot

i found a way to do this.
I draw a point and make a equitation of the distance of this point to the origin.

is there another way ?

You can always create a plane at the depth of the z axis of the centroid. And then simply place a point at the xy coordinates on that plane.

Make a point in 3D sketch. You can edit the absolute (X, Y, Z)position of the point at the bottom of the property manager when the point is selected.

-OR-

You can dimension the point in 3D by adding dimensions fom the point to each of the principle planes.

thanks all for the reply

the thick,
the centroid that i need , is the centroid from a sketch.
the sketch (symetric)is driven and have no features.
with the section properties i can see the centroid.
what i did, is calculate the Y-position and link a formula with the equitation to the dimension:
Y = ((y1*area1)+(y2*area2))/(area1+area2)
