Hello all,
Can someone guide me on how to center this trapezoid in both directions the “easy way”
I can do the math and figure it out, but I’m hoping that there is a better/faster way?
I was able to “select” it, but I do not see any sort of “centering” button.
draw a horizontal and vertical construction lines at the midpoints (should snap there in Fusion) then draw a point at the intersection. do the same thing for both shapes. Then do a copy (Move) point to point and select the two center points. Whole adventure should take under a minute.
@maleybr Thank you sir, thats a great idea. 
While @maleybr 's method is perfect for dealing with this scenario,“after the fact” . The real “easy way” is start off your sketch in a way the sets you off in the right direction.
When the OG sketch was created a "center rectangle " should have been used and started on the origin point. this would simplify all future edits and give you a great center to snap to or create from.
When working symmetrical and semi symmetrical designs starting at origin prompts great workflow.
this screen grab shows the 2 places where the center point rectangle can be selected from and it also points to the origin 's visibility toggle.
@TinWhisperer Thank you, this is good to know, and makes a lot of sense.
When I originally started watching videos on how to use Fusion, most (if not all) videos basically said that “It does not matter where you place “something”, because it can be changed later”
I am of course paraphrasing, but now I see that starting off at the center makes a difference.
Lesson learned. 
OK guys, I am trying out all the suggestions to “get a feel” for the diffeernt ways to do things, as sort of “practice”.
Here is @maleybr way.
It worked out pretty good! Thanks again.
I am going to try Jims way next, then I am going to re-do the drawing from scratch to try @TinWhisperer way.
I will keep the post updated with my success/failures
It was pretty easy to do too.
I was sent another way of doing this by a poster that would like to remain anonymous.
IMHO that persons advice was stellar, and should be shared with the community to help advance a "noob’ (like me).
The poster said
“you could use the mid-point contraint and you don’t need to add points to the midpoint for this to work.”
then gave me a screen shot
That worked awesome!
All the advice is much appreciated…and having multiple ways of doing something is always helpful.
And now for my last trick, I will make that drawing disappear, and try doing it over but making sure I use the “center point” method…Stand by…
OK people, I feel like I have advanced “light years” this week.
I re-did the drawing and this time I used the 'center point rectangle" method.
That end up working out great!
Here is the results.
I really like the “symmetry” this method provides.
I did run into a few problems but they were the result of me “getting fancy”
Overall, I am very happy with my results and thankful y’all give your time and help so freely.
Now I am going to extrude it and it’s off to the SIL’ s printer .
Glad it all worked out.
Thanks man, and thanks for your/everyones help
