umm, I'll take a crack at it and say by measuring a diameter instead of a radiusususes? (or the plural commonly known as radii) ;) Just crackin' jokes, sorry. :)

"Measure" diameter

How do I get the "measure" tool to display diameters instead of radius's?
Unfortunately, it will ONLY display diameter measurements if what you are measuring it a full diameter (full circle). Otherwise it will show radius. Don't know of a way around this.
Thanks!

Multiply by 2 if radius.
I learn something new every day...

But what if it's only 1/4 of a radius. Do I multiply that by 4 ;-)
Not if you're using metric degrees for angles. Then you have to multiply the factor you already have by 1/(.03937*25.4)
Hold on! Hold on! I can't write this fast. Man this is good stuff!!!

You are making this too complicated. Don't use the measure tool.
I might study this and make a Video tutorial for my website. Dale I think you rounded that wrong it's supposed to be 1/(.03934/*25.40000001)

Just turn on the diameter filter first.
