Cannot get circle in centre of face....how do I do this?

Hi,

I'm trying to transition from  Sketchup to Fusion 360.....and am making a Microphone name plate for our school tv program..everything was going great until the final circle label holders./...the first one worked fine as you can see.  However on the other faces I also want to add a circle to each face where a sticky label will go....but I just can't get the  circles to go in the middle so I can extrude them like the others. Every time I try to click and draw a centre circle...it ends up in different locations than where I intend?  There is no centre indicator. I've also tried  drawing horizontal and vertical lines to find centre....but again no centre point of line is shown.

 

Edit: I have finally managed to get this to work...for some mysterious reason Fusion 360 would just not highlight the centre points...but then all of a sudden it started working...I would love to know why...but anyway I have got the job done.

Hello , Your box has fillet on upper side so the midpoint will be between the line where the fillet get end to the line bottom . If you want the midpoint to be the centre of box you have to draw a line from bottom to top face line . HERE'S TIP : If you want to snap the midpoint , Hold the shift key and hover close to centre , you will get the centre point . This works .
