When creating a circle sketch SW2004 asks for a Radius dimension by default. Is there a way to change this to ask for a Diameter by default?

Thanks in advance,
Cygnas
 
I don't think it can be changed.

I usually ignore the dialogue box size & set the size by placing a diameter dimension instead. If you just use the dialogue box, the circle is not fully defined.

I think it will dim with dia, unless the circle has been trimmed or cut somehow.
