I can get the diameter just fine, but I can't figure out how to get the depth. Google has not been helpful.

Those are text symbols. See the lower right corner of the dialog in the image above.

There are several ways to get the dimension values. Use the "switch symbols" button when editing a feature or when annotations are shown.

Are you talking about showing the annotation in a drawing?

The dimension has to be normal to a view. Alternatively, you can use the depth parameter of that feature in a note to maintain associativity.

Here is an example that will work in both model annotation and drawing annotation.
