  1. That worked perfectly. I built an interior wall to the door and centered the wall in the middle of the room, then centered the windows on either side of the door using the interior wall. Then deleted the wall leaving my windows centered on the door. Thank you, JFBeute!

    What I do is build a temporary partly wall in the room (from an opposite wall to about halfway the room). Center this new wall in the room. Now it is possible to center the window in this half room. The temporary wall can now be removed. When you want more windows this division can be repeated to divide the room in 4 parts. Also remember it is possible to select multiple objects and center the entire group (you often find that centering things just doesn't look right, so place two windows where they look about right, select them both and center).

     

    That's a great idea. Thanks! If the door is already in the center of the room, can I build a wall to the door, then use the wall to center the windows on either side of the door? Then, of course, delete the wall?

    Thank you. I will include in my signature but I did include in my OP. "Trying to center a window between a door and an exterior wall in Suite 2020." 

  4. Thanks for your answers. It sounds like you're telling me that I can only center one object on a wall with the centering tool. If by "dimensions" you mean, selecting the window and moving it until the dimensions on each side of the window are equal, I have tried that and it is, at least for me, nearly impossible to get it exact. It seems to move in a jerky fashion and it moves either too far or not enough. Is there some other way to "dimension" it? 

  5. Trying to center a window between a door and an exterior wall in Suite 2020. I centered the door just fine. I placed the door, selected it, clicked the centering tool then clicked in the room. The door went perfectly to the center of the exterior wall. Then placed windows on either side of the door. Selected one window and clicked the centering tool. No matter where I click in the room or on the wall, the window ends up either directly on top of the door or against the exterior wall. Any help would be appreciated.
