This dimension tool will add the radius dimension on a circle or arc. In the following example, we will add the radius dimension on arc KL of the sample drawing:
- Select the Radius tool from the dimension drop-down menu and then click on arc KL, then move your cursor away from arc KL and click again to place the dimension.
- The radius dimension will be added now, and the dimension will have the R prefix, indicating the radius value.
- You can add a radius dimension to a circle as well, using a similar workflow:

After adding the radius dimension on the arc, my dimension looked like the preceding screenshot.
