Hello!!! Welcome to lbpcentral to find the center of a circle, make a big circle and then shrink the circle size down without getting out of the circle placement thing then you can delete or whatever. Does that make sense?

First off, welcome to the forums! About the topic, the best way to find the center point of an object is to create a circle with the cursor the same size as the object without actually placing the circle and then shrink it down until it meets the center.

i sometimes get a bolt and hover around near the center of the circle, and you usually find it snaps into place

You can also fold it in half, then fold it in half again. The creases left will mark the center. (kidding, sorry) Seriously though... another way to work with this is to use the grid. Make sure you use it when you create the first circle, and that the circle has an even number of grid blocks in its diameter, this way the center will fall on an intersection of grid blocks making the insertion of other centered objects easier.

That works but it can be a bit unreliable.

the grid method is the key!

I think it is a mix of those two work methods. The first circle should be made on grid, than when you made it, turn grid off, shrink your circle down and cut the holes.

Sometimes a circle is required where the grid is off center, the best way I do it, as mentioned above, is take the grid off and attach a bolt, it wil snap to the center.

That works but it can be a bit unreliable. it seems reliable most of the time you have to be careful with large circles though because sometimes you might bolt it slightly off center by accident

I really don't think the snap to center feature works that well... I wish that bolts and motors and such would have a snap to center feature on any object... Come to think of it, this would have been a nice addition to anything - stickers or whatever.... This would have been nice to have put in CY - they could have put it in the menu, just like grid options and game or front view.
