Drawing issue

I have creo elements/pro 5.0, and If you add a drawing dimension to show a radius, then do an "Edit Attachment" and change it it a diameter dimension, the dimension value shows correctly, but it still shows "R" instead of a diameter symbol.

Be warned......

Elaborate Frank... When I edit attachment on a radius dim, I don't see the option to change it to diameter. The only method I ever knew is what abhijith suggested. This works correctly in Creo 2.

Okay, I see it now... inside the sketch, you can change a radius to a diameter. And a sketch doesn't show the R or Dia symbol. But when you go back and then Edit the feature outside the sketch, the symbol shows. You will be happy to know, Frank, this is fixed in Creo 2.0

You can't convert a radius dimension into diameter dimension using "Edit Attachment". Need to delete it and create again as a diameter dimension. However when you are doing "Edit Attachment" for radius/diameter dimensions make sure you are clicking in the right way. Otherwise the radius will show the diameter symbol and vice versa.

single click---> radius

double click--> diameter

I never tried it before, it had a misleading result, thought I'd warn people.
