- Make sure there is no selection.
- There are several ways to invoke the tool:
- introduced in 1.0: If the Dimensioning constraints preference is set to
Single tool(default): press the down arrow to the right of the
button and select the 
Radius Dimension option from the dropdown. - If this preference has a different value (and in 0.21 and below): press the Radius Dimension button.
- Select the Sketch → Constraints → Radius Dimension option from the menu.
- introduced in 1.0: Right-click in the 3D View and select the Dimension → Radius Dimension option from the context menu.
- Use the keyboard shortcut: K then R.

Scripting
Sketch.addConstraint(Sketcher.Constraint('Radius', ArcOrCircle, App.Units.Quantity('123.0 mm')))
The Sketcher scripting page explains the values which can be used for ArcOrCircle, and contains further examples on how to create constraints from Python scripts.
