The circumference \( C \) of a circle is related to its diameter \( d \) by the formula:

\[
C = \pi d
\]

Given that the circumference \( C \) is 6.28 millimeters, we can solve for the diameter \( d \):

\[
d = \frac{C}{\pi} = \frac{6.28}{\pi}
\]

Approximating \( \pi \) as 3.14, we can calculate:

\[
d \approx \frac{6.28}{3.14} \approx 2.0
\]

Now, using a more precise value for \( \pi \approx 3.14159 \):

\[
d \approx \frac{6.28}{3.14159} \approx 2.0
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
d \approx 2.0
\]

Therefore, the diameter of the circle, rounded to the nearest hundredth, is:

\[
\boxed{2.00} \text{ millimeters}
\]
