How to invert the Circle side that comes up when dimensioning.

When I want to dimension to get a specific shape, it usually works, unless it's a circle. There's a function to get the opposite side of the circle that also has an R26 value, but I don't know what it is because at the moment I'm going through a whole process of:

Firstly drawing the R26 mini side on the underside

Then drawing a full R26 circle now that I have the center point I need.

Deleting the old Underside sketch arc and bottomside of the circle (R26)

And finally, dimensioning it to give me the other side of R26 in comparison to the little side of R26 it usually gives me

It seems too simple for a shortcut not to exist. Is there a key or something you can press to get the opposite side of the circle when using arcs?

Kind regards,

Ricky

I would just use a full circle and make is costruction, then have you arc on the same centre point. Or keep your lower construction arc.
