Radius measure inconsistancy.

I'm not sure if this was in 2018, but I've just noticed it in 2019. 

If I measure a face of a cylinder, the Radius is displayed first followed by the diameter.

However, if I measure the edge of the hole, it's the other way around with diameter shown first and then radius.

To me, this inconsistency needs fixing, it's already caught me out a few times today.

Hi! This is a very good catch! I was not aware of the behavior. Let me work with the project team to understand the behavior better and see what we can do.

Many thanks!

I kept measuring things, remembering the number and typing it in on a different part and then wondering why it didn't fit. Then measuring it again and getting a different number. 

This must be why.
