[Problem] Sketcher: When OVP are enabled, the auto constraint doesn't select the diameter constraint, when creating a circle

[Be-Cool-Man]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Problem description

Step 1: Enable »On-View-Parameters« in [Edit] ⇒ [Preferences …] ⇒ [Sketcher] ⇒ [General] ⇒ [Tool Parameters]
Step 2: Open the Sketcher Workbench, and create a new sketch (The exact working plane doesn't matter)
Step 3: Create a circle (The exact location doesn't matter)

Observed behavior: The auto constraint uses the radii constraint for circles and for arcs. And therefore, it ignores the settings in [Edit] ⇒ [Preferences …] ⇒ [Sketcher] ⇒ [General] ⇒ [Dimension constraint] ⇒ »Dimension tool diameter/radius mode: Auto«

Expected behavior: The auto constraint respects the settings in [Edit] ⇒ [Preferences …] ⇒ [Sketcher] ⇒ [General] ⇒ [Dimension constraint] ⇒ »Dimension tool diameter/radius mode: Auto« and therefore uses the diameter constraint for circles and radii constraints for arcs.

Can confirm the same behaviour is happening with the Windows version.

I'll add from #12681 it should be possible to manually switch the dimension type (radius or diameter) for arcs in the OVP when drawing them.

@maxwxyz it should be possible for circles as well.
