This one works fine. When I initiate the command to run this code the textscreen pops up. How can I avoid this?

Code: [Select]


(defun c:insertdim ()
(command "._style" "ROMANS" "ROMANS.SHX" "0" "1" "" "" "" "")
(setvar "lunits" 4)
(setvar "DIMASSOC" 2)
(setvar "DIMBLK" "_ARCHTICK")
(setvar "DIMALT" 0)
(setvar "DIMSCALE" 48)
(setvar "DIMASZ" 0.125)

The only thing that got my attention is DIMASSOC.
I'm using acad2k and it is 1 or 0.
What does 2 stand for?

DIMASSOC doesn't affect dimstyles, does it? .. but you might just have a point there?

This is from the HELP!!!

Associative dimensions. Automatically adjust their locations, orientations, and measurement values when the geometric objects associated with them are modified. TheDIMASSOC system variable is set to 2.
Nonassociative dimensions. Selected and modified with the geometry they measure. Nonassociative dimensions do not change when the geometric objects they measure are modified. The dimension variable DIMASSOC is set to 1.
Exploded dimensions. Contain a collection of separate objects rather than a single dimension object. The DIMASSOC system variable is set to 0.

You see I am using an older version of ACAD than you.
Even the var name has changed.

Type: Switch
Saved in: Drawing
Initial value: On
Controls the associativity of dimension objects.

Off   Creates no association between the various elements of the dimension. The lines, arcs, arrowheads, and text of a dimension are drawn as separate objects.
On   Creates an association between the elements of the dimension. The elements are formed into a single object. If the definition point on the object moves, the dimension value is updated.

DIMASO is not stored in a dimension style.

That happened somewhere between R14 and 2k2

DIMASO became obsolete
DIMASSOC=0  -  Dumb entity dims, text, lines, solids
DIMASSOC=1  -  Associative Dims like we're used to
DIMASSOC=2  -  TRANS-SPATIAL Dims; dims in PS read the actual MS length (not real stable in R2K2, sometimes a 12'-0" model dim shows up as 3")

At the end of your code type (graphscr)
