Add Prefix/Suffix to Multiple Dimensions?

[paulmcz]

Why not use 'dimedit'?

(defun c:wr (/ a b)
  (if c1
    ()
    (setq c1 "%%c<>\"\\P(Typ.)")
  )
  (princ "\n Overwrite with:  ")
  (princ c1)
  (princ " ? ")
  (setq b (getstring t))
  (if (= b "")
    (setq b c1)
  )
  (setq c1 b)
  (princ "\nSelect Dimensions to overwrite ")
  (setq a (ssget '((0 . "DIMENSION"))))
  (if (not (eq a nil))
    (command "._DimEdit" "_N" b a "")
  )
  (princ)
)

Now THAT is awesome!
Presets are definitely the way to go.

Thanks so very much!!

You're welcome! Glad we finally got to the same wave-length

IMO the Properties Palette is still one of the most powerful things ADesk has ever made for ACad. If not the most powerful. That's not to say you can't get something which is even more efficient for your specific scenario (like these preset commands).
