Anyone know of just a simple little diddy that could make a simple little bevel when selecting a line through an mview?

hmmm....

Let's say I have a layout with an mview on it.  In that mview I have a line that is not vertical or horizontal.  I would like to be able to click a button or type a command that would prompt me to select two points or a line.  Then when I select those points or line, I would like it to create something like this:

                12
      ________________

I would like to be able to have a consistent end result that I could tweak to look like my dimensioning and such.  But right now I have nothing, so anything would be better.  And after doing a bit of searching, I came up empty and was wondering what was out there.

OK, now we have something.  First question, is it always angled such that the rise is less than the run?

Nope.  And it could be running upwards, downwards, leftwards, rightwards, sidewards, forwards, backwards, aroundwards, ...  just not flatwards.  Really I just need it to read a 2D line running in any direction.  It would be nice to be able to chose which side of the line the bevel would be on and have an option for if an extension line were necessary.

what about scale? do you need to consider dimscale for the text height and offset for extension lines

This will all be in paper space, so a common size would be fine.  1/8" letters and large enough to make it ledgeable.

Nice!  I like the user interface.  I will need it to have stacked dimension though...  Also it doesn't draw both lines for the right triangle, but instead draws two lines on the 12 side.

So this one doesn't work, but is darn close to working right.
