How to use relations to centre a hole?

Hi,

You can make use of relation to place the circle in the center of the rectangle, select the midpoint of the rectangle edge and give parallel relation to a center of a circle.

Hope this helps.

Better to sketch lines.  Shows design intent more clearly by being able to look at the sketch then having to check relations.  My opinion...

Like Solid Air has mentioned, I would also suggest to use a line rather than adding relations.

Your screenshot shows the skewed rectangle at an angle.  If it was horizontal or vertical you could achieve your goal by establishing horizontal and vertical relations between the center point of the circle and the center points of two of the sides, but if that's not the case then I don't see any way to do it without adding construction geometry.  Even if it was possible I'd probably add the construction geometry anyway.  I got the impression you're reluctant to do that, but unless there's a good reason for it I'd suggest you get past it.

For me, I like to show intent so the easiest way to do this is to make a construction line from the diagonal on the rectangle and use the mid point there, this way people can easily see what I've done.  Just me...
