Post From: Overlaying two indicators with different scales and centering them at same zero lines

Here's a way to accomplish this.
It works as long as the line that you want them both to be centered around is zero.

Set the scale for each study to user-defined.
For each study, set the Top of Range to what you want, and set the Bottom of Range to -(Top of Range).
For example, Top of Range = 100 and Bottom of Range = -100.
If neither study never reaches 100, you could use smaller numbers, like 60 and -60.
The range limits don't have to match for the 2 studies, so you can adjust the relative scale as you like.
As long as the top and bottom are equidistant from zero, the zero line will be smack in the middle of the range for both studies, so they'll coincide.
I tried it out, and it seems to work.

I suppose you could also use this approach if the center line was other than zero - the arithmetic would just be a little more complicated. :-)
Sierra's new scale type, when it's available, may offer greater flexibility - but this might suffice for you in the meantime.
