Modify Block dimension style

[raj]

HI,

 

I have a problem like

 

i am inserting a block which consist of dimensions of some style--say height of 2

 

but when i insert my block i want the block to be inserted in such a way that

 

so when i scale my block 2 times the height changes to 4 but i need it to change to 10

 

i used dimscale to increase the dimension but it was not getting updated when inserted

 

(defun C:nm()

(setq bp (getpoint "Pick a Point on Screen"))

(setq sc (getreal "Enter the Scale Required"))

(setq th (getreal "Enter the Text Height"))

(command "DIMSCALE" th)

(command "insert" "nameplate" bp sc sc 0 )

)

 

inputs are point ---picked

scale x,y,z---2

text height= dimscale---10

 

Can some one help me how to do this i have also attached a drawing file in reference to it

 

Thank you in advance

Look into Annotative Dimstyles

 

For example

Insert this file on your drawing

 

Click on Annotation tab (lower right of your menu)
