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.
