Controling diameter in dynamic block

OK, I have been off playing in the Inventor world for awhile and now that I am back in the 2D world, I find my memory fails me. I am trying to create a dynamic block for terminal boxes. Some of these boxes are round so I need to control the diameter from the lookup table. Just how do I do that? Placing a diameter constraint parameter gets me the various diameters I need but I cannot get those into the lookup table. I know I am missing something but just cannot remember what it is.

Help?!?!

Assuming twice as big as you want but the concept is here.

Charles - what release is that in? I am working on 2011 at the moment.

Then, (using Charles' example) just change the display value for the lookup to twice what the distance is.

 

[edit] I believe Charles' file is 2013.  You can use DWG True View to convert it down. [/edit]
