For a benzene shown in a skeletal structure, what does a substituent to the center of the ring mean? [duplicate]

I have seen diagrams with both the substituents attached to the benzene ring by the edges and other occasions directly to the delocalized ring. What does signify?

How to draw protonated benzene (horseshoe) carbocation structure with ChemDraw?

Is there a way to draw the aromatic "horseshoe" (forgot the official name) structure of a protonated benzene cation (arenium) with ChemDraw, and not the cation with double bonds?
