Dimensioning gage point on a revolved surface

I'm trying to dimension a gauge point using a diameter and distance dimension as shown here:

I created a sketch within the view and dimensioned a point placed on a part edge from the 3D centerline I created from the OD of the part.  It seems that you cannot create a driving dimension from a 3D centerline, but I don't know how else to get a diameter dimension in a detail section view like this.  Any suggestions?

 

Also, the axial dimension of the gage point will be from datum A which is on the other end of the part and outside this detail view.  How should I create this dimension?  The best idea I have so far is to sketch a line off the page, create a single-sided dimension, and override the dimension value.  I could also put both views on one page but I'd like to avoid that so I can have a larger scale view.
