Constrains the diameter of a circle, an arc or an polyline arc segment. (This command is equivalent to the Diameter option of the DIMCONSTRAINT command.)
Accessing the Command
command bar: dcdiameter
menu bar: Parametric | 2D Constraints | Diameter
ribbon: Parametric | 2D Constraints | Radius | Diameter
toolbar: 2D Constraints | 
: dcdiameter
Prompts you in the command bar:
Select arc, circle or curved polyline segment: (Select a circle, arc or polyline arc segment)
Specify dimension location: (Select a point to position the dimension line)
Dimension text <xx.xx>: (Type a value, or else press Enter to accept the current value)
The diameter of the entity is now constrained, although the entity can still be moved, rotated, and so on.
