Under insert; annotations; centerline, or by picking the centerline icon on the annotation toolbar. You can create centerlines by picking two parallel lines. This will put a centerline between the two lines you pick. When the centerline is there you can select it and drag the ends as far as you would like.

On the side view of the drawing you must select the 2 lines the make up the circle, the on the annotations tool bar select the centerline icon and it will place the center line between the 2 lines you selected.

New option in SW03 or 04. To do it in SW01+ you have to manually place the line there and you can use planes, etc.. to place it there.

Try this.
In your 2D drawing add a layer called Centre with line type set to Centre and a designated colour (similar approach to AutoCAD). Make this layer active. Draw a line using the sketch line icon tool (or Tools/sketch entities/line).
I recall doing this when I used SW2001+. My drawing templates are set up this way and I have successfully used this approach ever since, including SW2005, when I require centrelines.
