Toggle between diameter and radius dimension?

Hi All:

I am trying to dimension a ring in an .idw that has a chord cut off it.
Because of this, it is not a full circle and I can only get the radius value
for this dimension. I know why it is doing this, but is there any way I can
toggle to a diameter style dimension? I realize I could probably show a
linear dim across the quad's, but I'd rather show acircular type dimension.

TIA

Andre

Right Click while dragging the dimension and pick diameter.

Thanks Byron it worked well.

Right click was one of my first thoughts but I guess I wasn't holding my
tongue right 🙂

Howdy,
If you right click before actually placing the dimension, you can choose
Dimension Type and pick Diameter.

Is there a way to toggle the radius dimenion AFTER it is created?

 

Thanks.

Not that I'm aware of. 

This functionality exists both in 2D sketch and in 2D drawing environments, though.
