Adding a reference to a dimension

Adding a reference to a dimension

Adding a reference to a dimension

(OP)
Is it possible to reference a dimension within the text of another dimension in a drawing?  I know I can double click a dimension while creating text and it will add that dimension to the text, is it possible to do the same type thing within the text of a dimension?  I have a round part that is turned to a diameter of 1.800, but the OD of it is a radius and I would like to dimension it as "1.800 OVER THE 0.500 RADIUS" with the 0.500 being picked from a dimension so it will be driven also instead of typing it in.  Thanks for the help.

RE: Adding a reference to a dimension

You can add a Driven Dim to either a Customer property or to an equation, but I can't find away and I don't think it's possible to add it to another  dim.

Now you could probably add all that to a custom property and place it in a note within the drawing.
