    im trying to run a macro under the linear dimension icon, where when i click
    the dim icon it switches to the dimension layer to do the dimensioning, then
    when im done it will go back automatically to the layer i was on....

    Try this
    ^C^CDIMBLK;.;(setq poplayer (getvar "clayer"));(setvar "clayer" "dim");_dimlinear;\\\(setvar "clayer" poplayer);

    watch the word wrap as a space will fool autocad into a carraige return. Replace "dim" with whatever you call your dimensioning layer and be sure it is enclosed in quotes.
