How to match center of sketch to center of plane?

    Hello Mike. The plane shown has edges that don't really exist. Any plane is infinite. So, having the plane and centered to each other doesn't matter. A plane can be used for other operations such as Split, Mirror, etc. so an image of it to see its position relative to other elements may be needed. However, if it may be visually appealing, I've found that exiting the sketch and opening it again for editing often results with the bounds of the sketch and the visible plane being centered to each other. - Scotty

    you are right, it's just a visual thing. It's annoying, but the final part still works fine

    Use the origin as a center point
