Topic: arc dimension lisp question?

[MikePerry]

Hi

For AutoCAD 2005 User's the following might be of some interest....

Below snippet comes via a CAD E-mail Newsletter that arrives in my Inbox -

In a similar vein, you can make an arc dimension similar to a standard associative dimension. Type Ddunits and set your units as appropriate. At the Command prompt, type Field. Select Object and set your desired units. At the bottom of the Field dialog box, highlight the code, right-click, and select Copy. Cancel the Field command. Start the Dimangular command and select the arc, then T for text paste, and proceed with the command. You end up with an associative dimension for the arc. When you stretch it and regenerate, the field displays the new dimension.

Thank in advance.

I don't know, I will have to look at it and see if I can find out why.

Keith,
I like your arc dimension routine.  The only problem I have is that I can't get the dcl to work.  I've loaded the program in Acad's path but the only thing that works is the lisp program.  What am I doing wrong?

Make sure you have named the DCL file correctly, and it would be better if it were located within the same folder as the lsp file.

Keith,
I was able to get the dcl to work.  Thanks for a great program
