Hi Everyone,
Ever wondered how to find the mid point of two points in AutoCAD.
Say, you have two parellel lines at an unknown distance and you have to draw a line equidistanced from both. How to do this.
Use MTP command.
While executing any command you can type MTP at the command line or dynamic cursor and pick two points which you need to find the mid of.
Here in example I will use line command :
Command: line
Specify first point: mtp
First point of mid: Second point of mid:
Specify next point or [Undo]:
Without this command, to find the mid of two points you will have to :
Thanking You,

Without this command, to find the mid of two points you will have to :
- Draw a line joining both the points
- In next command you will be able to snap the midpoint of the line.
- Erase the line drawn to join both the points if not required.
So, Firends! start using MTP to save your time and keystrokes.
That's all for now.

“MTP” is a very useful snap. “M2P” also invokes this useful snap but my preferred method while the line command is active is to hold down the “Shift” key and use the “Right” mouse click. Not only does this give you access to this snap but access to all snaps.
ReplyDeleteThx. for pointing out Tony. I missed the same. Actually being a keyboard lover myself I sometimes miss these things. Will try to improve myself on it. Thanks Again!
