Diameter Dimension for a Radial Sketch

[TGERKEN]

How do you add a diameter dimension for a sketch that is going to be revolved? This is hard to explain in youds but I'll try. I have 1/2 of a cylindrical part as a profile I'm going to revolve. I would like to add parametric dims to the sketch to constrain it which I can use on my layout when I detail it. The way I'm doing it now is I add a parametric dim from the work axis to the radial service. Is there a way to dimension this that the dim will show up as a diameter instead of a radial dim?

I am not in front of MDT right now so I can't think of what it's called exactly, but there is an option called "shaft dimensioning" or something like that which is probably what you need.

Thanks a lot. Its under annotate - automatic dimensioning then you choose shaft/symmetrical. Works great. 90% or more of the details we do are cylindrical. This will help out a lot. I appriciate the tip!
