    Is there a script routine to globally change the DIMCLRD and DIMCLRE
    variable in a drawing and update the all dimension in the drawing. Thanks.

    Joseph,
    Do you really want to add overrides to all your dimensions?
    That seems like bad practice. Instead use the dimstyle
    command to change dimclrd and dimclre. Better yet,
    use a bylayer color for your dimensions in the dimension style.

    But if you insist,

    (command "dim1" "ov" "dimclrd" "red" "dimclre" "red" "" "all" "")

    In that case, is there a way to automate the changing of all dimstyles in a
    group of drawings?

    Yes. You could use a script approach or objectdbx for a start.
    A script file could use the command function shown above.
    The techniques to change dimstyles using ActiveX/ObjectDBX
    do not involve commands.
