Set circle to a specific radius or diametre?

Question

Hi all, is it possible to set a circle measurement to a specific radius or diametre? rather than having to click and drag to adjust? IE is there an input box that allows me to add a length as the one with the tool is greyed out

Thanks

or take a radius/diameter measurement

simply double click on the text of the measurement. You get a box with the measurement. Click on the value and change it to the radius you want to obtain. close the box and magic happens.

or as mention by Jes, use the Sketch function to define from scratch the radius.

It is a little counterintuitive but click Ellipse Sketch to Scale. If there is not a scale set for your sheet, it will first prompt for that. Then, enter the radius. The product is a circle that can then be modified to make an ellipse, or all manner of curvy Salvador-Dali-like-shapes.
