By heck Andrew, ya asking some taxing questions.
I'm at home at the moment and on Win98, so I can't knock something up to show
you. But image three sides of a square. The fourth side consists of an arc,
cantered at the centre of the middle line.
Now put a little fillet in at each corner- say rad~thickness - and all the
same. I'll do this to take the sharp corner of a lasered profile to help stop
claims against us.
The arc would be dimensioned as R120,00 for example
One of the fillets would be dimensioned as Rad 6,00 FILLET TYP for example
I'll send you something tomorrow morning (BST) [a common oxymoron] that'll help
explain. I try to knock sharp corners off profiles etc. When they're done in the
w/shop they usually whiz an ankle grinder over the corners.
Zeus produce charts of British & ISO Standards for threads, limits and fits etc.
They're most famous for producing a pocket sized booklet of all this data
combined. It is often used in w/shops etc.
Google it and you'll find they're priced about GBP5.00 - once upon a time they
were free. If I can get hold of another one for free I'll pass it onto Asif
Mogul or Neil Dunsmuir - they can post it to you - at the next UK AU - which
sounds like it could be very interesting {G}

Well, there are no immediate plans for a fillet note, but I can see your
point here. There are some long-range plans that may hit this, I'll have to
keep this in mind.
This begs another question: do you typically add any radius dimensions to
your drawings to anything OTHER than a fillet? If fillets represent your
only radius dimensions, there really wouldn't be any extra clicking involved
if you set up your object default style correctly. Just create a dimension
style flavored for fillet information, then assign that as your default
radius dimension in your object default style.

I'm back Andrew ... I've just been trying to find out if all of Zeus'
Precision charts are online or not.
I must admit I was wondering that myself whilst my fingers were at the
keyboard, but I remembered why I first requested it so long
ago.
R12,00 is a dimension so should be in line with the dim line.
Rad 12,00 FILLET is a note and should be horizontal or vertical off of a
leader. I know it is possible to have two - or more -
different styles in a drawing, but that makes for bad practise - errors -
and more clicks.
This might seem like splitting hairs, but I've got to think about
communicating design intent to others.

Sorry, to clarify, that last question I posed was in reaction to Duncan's
fillet annotation request in his original post.

Working on both of those requests. Hopefully, you'll be able to enjoy some
of these new features in a release near you.
Out of curiosity, what does a general radius dimension with a prefix or
suffix defined in the dim style not do for you (that question is for
Duncan)?
