How to measure distance from the center of the hole

How do you measure the distance from the center of the hole? Or how do you grab a point in the center of the hole?

I am talking about when you are working in the modeling mode.

In other CAD systems you can just activate MEASURE tool. Hover over the hole and then at some point you can select either the hole contour or a point in the center (or by pressing the hot keys).

How do you do that in Creo?

I couldn't find the answer or figure it out intuitively.

For that create a Datum point at center (Datum point > Select Edge of hole > Under References Change ON to Center). Once Datum point created at center use measure and select createed datum point to get XYZ.

    That is correct. But it there any way to select a center point of the hole to see what are the XYZ coordinates?
