Drawing a corner rectangle centered about the origin
I draw a rectangle and all I can think to do is midpoint-constraint two of the sides.
I placed two perp. construction lines passing through the origin, one X, other on Y-axis.
This works for one side, the rectangle shifts and centers itself on one axis about the origin. Looks good so far.
I try the second rectangle-side midpoint constraint, and the rectangle disappears. All I see are a lot of constraint flags.
I'm not sure what happened. How do I draw this in Onshape?

Is there no way to align this after the fact? Seems like it would be useful in case you made a mistake or need to modify a sketch. How do you align a rectangle sketch to the origin after the fact? I've been reading and searching the docs and I can't seem to find a clear answer for this.

I assume you mean a rectangle without a center? You can use the midpoint constraint with two diagonal points of a rectangle and the origin. Just make sure that the origin is inside the rectangle first.
