dimensions help

if I wanted to set up an alias for a horizontal linier dimension, what would
be my command line?


Thanks
Rob

 

The following lisp will allow you to use DH as the alias;


(DEFUN CH () (C:SLD) (EON) (SETVAR "OSMODE" 1)
(COMMAND "DIM" "HORIZ" PAUSE PAUSE PAUSE "" "EXIT") (SETVAR "OSMODE" 0)
(EOF))

 

thx, but it doesn't work.... here's what I get:

; error: no function definition: C:SLD

 

Sorry! My Acad is set to use a layer named DIMENSION and the command SLD
sets the layer to DIMENSION.

The additional line is:

(DEFUN C:SLD () (COMMAND "LAYER" "SET" "DIMENSION" ""))

Change 'DIMENSION' to the name of your dimension layer, if you have one.

This code is part of Jkeys.lsp, which is a series of aliases for a range
of commands. It requires some layers to be named to match the code.

If you wish, I could email the full lisp file if you can confirm your
email address. Note the comment below about my email address.
