I am new to Onshape. Can't seem to find it easy way to do this. I'm sure there is.

Might have to put a construction line/ centre line in there.
Or just a point. - Scotty
Add a centerline, as a construction line. It will snap to the midpoint.
Delete one of the circle dims and click on both circles then press the letter E, which will make them equal.
Or, if you know the midpoint will be important, draw a midpoint line instead. It'll have a midpoint ex works.
I think it is no good practice to dimension to an average line's midpoint because it might easily get corrupted in later edits. I always use an ecplicit axis for this reason.
