In solidworks is there a way to make ordinate dimensions display a diameter instead of a radius when dimensioning a round part?

Something like this but doubling all the values and adding diameter symbol (don't know what it is called).

Just to clarity these are drawings for me personally to use, so they don't have to conform to any standard.

no ordinate cannot do that because it is driven from the zero you have set, not the feature.

you have to use standard dimensioning to get the dia.
