Creating a radial (radius) constraint fails

I can easily create a diameter constraint for a circle or arch. But I often need to enter the radius and instead of just doing a *2 in the dimension constraigt I want to see the R15 or similar value in the sketch. But when I click the edge of the circle the radius shows up very very briefly and then disappears, without giving me an option to write the number. And if I click inside the circle after that I get a message that an object cannot be dimensioned against itself or "a dimension cannot be added between a curve and one of its points".
I tried https://cad.onshape.com/help/Content/drawings-dimensions.htm#Radial but alas the icon doesn't exist, nor does "search tools" show anything when searching on radial or radius. What's the secret here? This started a few days ago and extremely simple sketches takes forever as I try to figure out why the clicks aren't working.
