Topic: Diminspect help

[Biscuits]

Using Acad2010 (finally).

I'm looking to modify existing dimensions to "Inspection Dimensions" without a label or inspection rate.
I'm trying to do this without any dialog boxes and I'm unable to find the dimension variable to shut off the Inspection rate.

All I want is the frame around the dimension.

Any ideas?

from help file it would appear there is NO Dimension Variable for creating Inspection Dimensions, because it is a Command not a variable

If you enter -diminspect at the Command prompt, the following prompts are displayed.

Add inspection data or [Remove] <Add>: Enter an option or press ENTER

Add

Adds an inspection dimension to the selected dimensions.

Select dimensions: Use an object selection method to select dimension objects and press ENTER when you finish

After you select dimension objects, the following prompt is displayed:

Enter shape option [Round/Angular/None] <Round>: Enter an option or press ENTER

Round
Creates a frame with semi-circles on the two ends; the fields within the frame are separated by vertical lines.

Angular
Creates a frame with lines that form a 90-degree angle on the two ends; the fields within the frame are separated by vertical lines.

None
Specifies that no frame is drawn around the values; the fields are not separated by vertical lines.

After you specify a frame shape, the following prompt is displayed:

Enter label data or <None>: Enter a value for the inspection label or press ENTER

None
No label is displayed with the inspection dimension.

After you specify a label, the following prompt is displayed:

Enter inspection rate <100%>: Enter a value for the inspection rate or press ENTER

Thanks for the reply. You are right. Diminspect is a command not avariable. That much I already know.

My problem is that I do not want an inspection rate or "cell" to show at all.
I was looking for a variable to turn off the "inspection rate".
So far the only way to avoid having it show is through removing it by way of the dialog box.
I'm trying to accomplish this without the dialog box.

Bottom line........all I want is a simple frame to surround the selected dimensions by means of a macro or lisp.

Thanks again
