You can use a linear dimension by tabbing, and selecting the end points of the two arcs that actually make up the circle. Revit's internal database does not store the "diameter information, and therefore it is always an independently calculated value. It stores the Centerpoint, and a radius, for a circle, or arch, that's all.
