Name of Dimension Style Child

(1/2) > >>

MSTG007:
Drawing a blank here. I am trying to access the Dimstyle Childs name via the (-dimstyle) command. I am actually trying to change the precision from hundredths to tenths.

Thanks for the help!

Crank:

--- Code: ---name         Parent (main)
name$0       Linear
name$2       Angular
name$3       Diameter
name$4       Radial/jogged
name$6       Ordinate
name$7       Leader

--- End code ---
I don't know if a 'name$1' or 'name$5' exist nor what they represent.

mjfarrell:
pretty sure you can't  with -dimstlye

Crank:
Make an override of the parent dimstyle and then save the dimstyle with the substyle name.
For new dimensions the substyle will automaticly be used if the parent dimstyle is current.
Existing dimensions need to be updated.

Crank,

Could you walk me through alittle bit more on your idea? Not following it totally.
