How to change Radius Display to Diameter

How to change Radius Display to Diameter

How to change Radius Display to Diameter

(OP)
Hello

I Solidworks when sketching a Circle the only availible option I currently have is to type in the circle radius into the manager window to set its size.  Is there a setting to change this to diameter, instead of radius.

Circles like 5/8th are easier to type as .625 instead of thinking what is half of each diameter needed,

thanks

Mark

RE: How to change Radius Display to Diameter

Do you not use a dimension to control the size? I never use the sketch manager dialogue to set the size. If you have to use it, just type .625/2 ... no thinking required.

cheers
