This command draws points at the centroids of the selected
polylines. In the section option, the areas need to be closed polylines
representing the blocks to calculate the centroids of. This is useful
for calculating haul distances and blast distances in section view.
When choosing to come from a grid file, it finds the x,y position for
the center of mass. Typically this grid would be the difference between
existing and design surfaces, represented as a thickness grid. For
example, this routine could be used to find the center of mass for a
stockpile using a difference grid of the stockpile grid and base grid.
