diameter dimension breaks some mesh #8

Add a mesh circle. Enter edit mode and duplicate it a bit higher. If you select each circle and add dimensions, it works perfect. If you have both circle selected, it will add only one dimension and changing the value of this one will break the second circle. A good solution would be to add a dimension for every loose part.

First was considered to not allow a diameter dimension if the vertices selected were not in same plane. But allowing it allows to relate vertices to this dimension. So all vertices will be modified according to one dimension. So for a concentric circles in diferent Z is ok.

Issue appears if vertices are not concentric to same axis, as the dimension only have one center. Autodetect circles and add as many dimensions as circles detected could be a clever solution.
