Hi,
I create a figure from the palette onto the diagram. The mouse location
and the upper-left point of the newly created element will be the same
after the creation.
But I would like the mouse location to be the center of the newly
created element.
How can I achieve this?
Thanks,
Daniel

My problem:

be the same after the creation.
