has anyone ever tried to have the dimscale dynamically displayed in the menubar?
is it possible?
how about setting it in a toolbar if not?

Like this?

Code: [Select]

(setvar
  "modemacro"
  "$(getvar,clayer)  ($(edtime, $(getvar,date),H:MMam/pm) - $(edtime,$(getvar,date),M.DD.YY))  Textsize: $(getvar,textsize) $(if, $(!=, $(getvar,viewtwist), 0), Viewtwist: $(angtos, $(getvar,viewtwist) [, 0, 2]) , ) AnnoScale: $(getvar,cannoscale)  Dimscale: $(getvar,dimscale) $(if, $(!=, $(getvar,filletrad), 0), FilletRad: $(getvar,filletrad), ) $(if, $(=, $(getvar,worlducs), 1),*WCS* ,*NON-WCS*) "
)
It's in the ModeMacro variable.

Now that's what I call a MenuBar

LoL
Part of the reason why Viewtwist and FilletRad are only displayed if something other than zero.

ehhh i was more aiming to the top of the screen where the pull down menus are.

I *think* you can use Diesel in pulldowns, but that's about the best you are going to get. Why does it have to be at the top?

"Dimstyle Control" is a button (of sorts)  for a tool bar..if your using acad classic.
Check your cui if it exists...I think it depends on the version.
It shows the current dimstyle with a dropdown to select another to become current.

I think he wants to see the scale, not style.

Sorry.....didn't occur to me that we name all our dimstyles according to it's particular dimscale

Really? We have different Dimstyles for a change in style (existing/proposed) but never have to make any changes when the scale is altered. That's what the dimscale variable is for.

That's what happens when the powers-that-be insist on multiple titleblocks of various scales all residing in modelspace.
I know... I know... I know... we should be using paperspace..........but whut da ya do?
