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.

@StephenW Thanks for workaround.

Decades using this software and I never knew that. Used Geometry CSYS a lot but never thought to try a Geometry Point. An easy way to put an axis at the point in a slot where the default fastener location is. Nice.
