How do I change this dimension into a diameter dimension?

I have tried editing the dimension style to display as a diameter and it doesn't change it.  I tried creating a new dimension style and it doesn't change it.  So thus the question.

Hi Cadmanto,

If you right-click while creating the dimension (select the curve, then right click), you can toggle it to a diameter dimension.

Will that work?

I hope this helps.

Yes, that will and did work quite nicely!!! 

Thank you.

So why can't it be changed after it is created?  Is this a bug in the software?

Hi Cadmanto,

Not a bug since it's functioning "as designed", but it's certainly a limitation.

I know you're aware of feature enchancement link, but I'm posting this in case someone else sees this and thinks it would be a good idea too.

Hey Curtis,

Ok, fair enough. 

Yes, I know of that link thanks to you and I think I will suggest this as

an enhancement.
