While creating a 2D drawing, how to achieve to have a default automated center line for oblong rectangle or hexagon

If there is no axis in the model, there will be no centerline in the drawing. In the model, there is no default axis for oblong, rectangle or hexagon.

During feature creation of the  oblong, rectangle or hexagon, you can add and "point"  and when the sketch is extruded, it will create and axis. That can be the axis you can show in a drawing.
