When prompted for pick point, type 'CAL then MEE, then pick opposite corners of the rectangle. MEE is "midpoint between two endpoints" (CAL automatically grabs the endpoint when you pick corner of rectangle).

Of course if you are using AutoCAD 2006 you can just hit SHIFT+RIGHT CLICK and select Mid Between 2 Points.
