Isn't useful to modify line behaviour in order to make the midpoint selectable in sketcher, like other common CAD software?
Well, it´s not the question to SELECT the midpoint..it´s questionable wether the constraint solver can handle "midpoint" as a constraint. I don´t know.. but it´s would be quite nice to have.

I prefer datumpoints in the meantime..as i can use them on several sketches. Also, 2 addons exist, dealing with geometric locations along edges etc. Unfortunately only the workfeature macro can deal with 0.17 , workfeature workbench´s points and lines cannot be used in 0.17 up to now. Both would be nice to select a bunch of properties from several objects at once..
Thanks for the hint.

Looks like no one else wants it bad enough, can't see the need for it myself.
