    You will need to work with constraints and another construction line

    If you explain or better yet show what you are after we can give you more specifics.

    One way to pick the center of a region is to use a mate connector. If you finish the current sketch and then create a new one, you can choose to create the sketch on a mate connector. If you then hover over that area, you should be able to select the center of that area. I'm not sure exactly what OnShape uses to calculate the center (centroid? midpoint of arcs?).
