how to center pen-tool stroke on layer

[moritzc87341766]

Hi guys

Is there a way to center a stroke made with the pen-tool. the align panel which works to center shapes doesn't work since the stroke itself seems to have its center in the middle of the layer it sits on.

I would be so happy for an answer

What's wrong with eyeballing it?  People do it all the time.

You can snap a mask vertex or a shape path to a guide line or a grid. You can snap an anchor point to a grid. You can snap a mask path or shape to a grid.

Unfortunately you cannot derive the position of the center of a path mathematically or by typing in x and y coordinates so snapping is your best option. You just have to have the option turned on and you have to have guides locked using the View menu.
