Simple question: How do I align sketch objects to midpoints of lines

I am making a sketch with something like a circle in the middle of a rectangle, but I can't figure out how to do this with constraits.  Can someone answer this?

Thanks.

I would draw a line from one corner of the rectangle to another, then select this line and from the context menu make it construction. Next I would start the constraint command and select the line and the center-point of the circle, and thens elect the midpoint command. this would make the circle at the center of the rectangle. Was this what you were looking for? Posting a picture might help?

If you just want to draw a circle in the middle of a rectangle, then the way Kevin provided should help. Another possible way for your reference:

 

1. Invoke Center Diameter Circle command and hover the mouse over the mid point of one edge of the rectangle - MidPoint shows, and then move the mouse to the center - Reference line shows.

2. Continue to move the mouse to the mid point of the other edge - Midpoint shows. And move the mouse towards the center - Reference line shows

3. When the mouse is at the center, two Reference line will show - Now click to specify the center and draw the circle.

Hope that's what you want. If not, please show us snapshot.
