Fliptext In Lt

Hi,

I continue to use the dreaded skinflint ACADLT 2008 and I am in need yet again of some help, I have a LISP for full ACAD called FLIPTEXT which flips the text on dimensions by 180 degrees over the dimension line enabling you to orientate the text to read either from the right or from the left. This is handy when copying details from different UCS's, sometimes the orientation of the dimension changes when pasted (dont know why this happens) and the only way of remedy is to re-dimension the whole detail or use this handy LISP I have. Unfortunatley as you know LT doesnt support LISP routines and I was wondering if anyone had a solution to this, thanks in advance.

Curious - yal draft/draught text not using the 'right hand read' rule for placement of text & dimensioning?

Anyway, I did an experiment and created a dimstyle with the text above the line. Went into 'properties', 'text', and set the rotation to 180. The text was rotated 180, but it placed it in the usual position of centered in the dim line rather than above or below it.

Is your dimension exploded when the lisp is run? Don't know if this helps - maybe if you play around with it.

I cant run a lisp, thats the problem. There must be a way of doing it or Autodesk have missed a trick big time!

What I meant was when you used it in full ACAD did it explode the dimension?
