Diameter Dimension Labeling

does the "radial dimension tool" offer "diameter labeling", i know sounds like a silly question given the tool name? i assume no and further assume a text label is used with symbol notation. doing steel detailing and would like to speed up my process.

Just clarifying; you are wanting a label that shows "[diameter]  ⌀" rather than using a linear dimension line?

hi @Lingwisyer - if i select a circle with a unit radius of 10 using the "radial label tool" it will label it as such, but i need it to recognize that the diameter is 20 and can label it as a diameter not radius. looked online but does not appear to be any help and i know how to show the Ω ™ 😱 ⌀ various symbols.

Hi Zdenko,

 

You can do something like this with the dimension tool

 but it's not one click as you need to place a dimension.
