  1. Make sure snapping is enabled. See Draft Snap Lock.
  2. If Draft Snap Center is not active do one of the following:
    • Press the button in the Draft snap toolbar.
    • Hold down the button in the Draft snap widget and in the menu that opens select the Snap Center option.
  3. Choose a Draft or Arch command to create your geometry.

    • To select the center point of a face or circular edge:
      • Move the cursor over the face or edge.
      • The face or edge is highlighted.
    • To select the DataPlacement point of a Draft WorkingPlaneProxy:
      • Move the cursor over any element of the working plane proxy.
      • The working plane proxy is not highlighted.
    • To select the DataPlacement point of an Arch BuildingPart:
      • Move the cursor over one of the edges of the small axis symbol of the BuildingPart, or over the text next to it that displays the DataLabel of the BuildingPart and its level.
      • Only the edges of the axis symbol are highlighted. The text is not highlighted.
