PartDesign Next - additive box to center

[pablogil]

I really like the new PartDesign workbench, it's much more intuitive and powerful, contrats guys!

Anyway, I'm trying to perform what I think is very basic but don't know how to:
1) create a new body
2) additive box
3) and now I want the box to be placed on the center...

I mean, I want the CoordinateSystem to be on the center of the cube or not the coordinates but be able to shift XYZ to half its length, width, height so that the box is placed as I want.
I have tried to use SuperPlacement and get the Box.Length but it's not recognized...

Any idea?
Thanks

Umm, maybe there is no solution to this as I have checked it turns into a cyclic dependency:

Is there other way to setup how the box is created or where the coordinate system is placed?

Thanks again

You should use Base -> Placement -> Position X, Y and Z property to achieve what you are after.

P.S: As for super placement i know. Given the choice i would probably want to use the super placement myself but in this case regular is what you are after!

Have you found some logic behind this?

The important thing ATM is new users trying out PartDesign NEXT and expressing their observations. It will be easier to gather some conclusions after.

I found I'm able to shift the position with Base -> Placement -> Position XYZ but the real problem is that what I want is to position it on its own center, that it, I would like CoordinateSystem to shift Box.Length/2 and Box.Width/2 so that the cube fits on the center... Maybe other nice approach would be to have a parameter that defines where the CoordinateSystem is "born".

Try Box.CoordinateSystem.Placement

Try Box.CoordinateSystem.Placement

It still doesn't work, it advises me of cyclic dependency:

Partially I understand it, I'm trying to set a parameter that belongs to itself but I don't see why it's a cyclic dependency. I think the Length/Width/Height has nothing to do with the transformation matrix of the CoordinateSystem...

Box-> Coordinate System
MapMode=Deactivated
Base: Placement->Position

Yes, yes, that works but what I want is to parametrically drive this position by Box length, width and height, that is, set Placement Position this way:
X = Box.Length/2
Y = Box.Width/2
Z = Box.Height/2

So, for instance, if I set 10, 10 and 10mm for Box size it would be placed on the global center
