RBPrice Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 There was a command in 2008 called Dim Text Edit that allowed one to move dimesions - is there an equivilent in 2013? There was another one called Dim Update; is there one in 2013? Thanks Bob Price Quote
neophoible Posted April 23, 2013 Posted April 23, 2013 Regarding plain AutoCAD (I'm using 2012): For moving dimension text, there are several options associated with the grip. As for updating dimensions, MATCHPROP does a great job in most cases. Quote
Dadgad Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 If you look on your DIMENSIONS toolbar you will find both of those commands are still there, and quite a few more. Quote
RBPrice Posted April 24, 2013 Author Posted April 24, 2013 Thanks Dadgad - but I discovered that I can do what I want simply by selecting the dimension and moving it with the little blue handles. That is more elegant than picking something from a drop-down box. Quote
SLW210 Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 Dim Update is only available via a button as it is a Macro, though you could input this on the command line. Macro- ^C^C_-dimstyle _apply Command Line -Dimstyle>Enter>A (for Apply)>Enter>A>Enter (for All or select dimensions)>Enter Quote
