I am drawing a detail in a drafting view. is there a way to make my dimensions read my detail lines as center lines?

Why do you need to force this?

 

In the properties of any arc, you can make the center mark visible.  And if your center is out of view, you can drag the radius dim value and enpoint back into range.

There is only one way I know to do this, but it involves adding a family.  You can create a detail component family which will have a center reference plane.  If you use that instead of a <centerline>, the program will recognize it as a centerline.  I made the family and it is attached.  Let me know if this works for you.
