Question for Linear Dimension Expert

[Benjo]

Hi,

I was wondering if someone could help me here.

I have an idea but not sure how to make it work

I would like to make dimension line with multiple predetermined text under the dimension. I know i could use the textoverride \X but i dont want to do that everytime.

 

My idea was to make a dynamic block with the linear dimension and put the visibility option, that way i could choose the the text i want under the dimension put it's doesn't work because you can't use dynamic block if its not a block. linear dimension will be a block.

 

Any Help Please?

You can define a dedicated dimension style with the suffix field set as "\XYourNote" and use it accordingly.

 

Please ask a moderator to remove your other thread on this matter - isn't recommended to split the discussion.

you can use DIMPOST SYS Var also :

 Command: dimpost
[indent]Enter new value for DIMPOST, or . for none <"">: <>\Xyour suffix here 
[/indent]

Based on @nod684 suggestion, you can define a toolbar button with the macro below; this will switch the DIMPOST system variable from suffix to none and inverse (enable / disable suffix mode):

(if (= (getvar "DIMPOST") "") (setvar "DIMPOST" "<>\X[color=blue]???[/color]") (setvar "DIMPOST" ""))
