aligning foreshortened radius dimensions

aligning foreshortened radius dimensions

(OP)
Is there a way to keep 2 foreshortened radius dimensions aligned?  I've got 2 large concentric radii on a part I'm detailing and I'd like to make sure they stay aligned.  I've got the center point dimensioned and don't want one of the radius dimensions to get moved inadvertently such that the center mark is now undefined.

I managed to drag the 2 center marks on top of one another, and then tried to group the 2 dims together thinking this would accomplish what I wanted.  No luck, dragging one of the radius dims moves the center marks apart.

RE: aligning foreshortened radius dimensions

I've never had cause to use that feature so am suprised to hear the "ends" don't coincide. That's not very helpful if trying to place dims to other features.

Enhancement Request time.

cheers
