Click on the linear dimension at P8, the entity handles are displayed and the Properties Toolbar changes to show all of the dimension settings.
Click in the 'Prefix' field and hold down the ALT key then press 0216 then release the ALT key. This is the ASCII code for a diameter symbol,
you will see the diameter symbol appear in the field. Click back in the drawing area and the dimension is updated and deselected.

Repeat this procedure for the linear dimension at P10.

Now click on the diameter dimension at P14. Click in the 'Suffix' field and enter:-

'_Equi-spaced_on_Ø80.00_PCD' (The '_' character represents a space. Use ALT 0216 as described before to get the diameter symbol.)

The drawing is complete and now should appear as at the start of the tutorial.
