You are trying to mix 2 commands together Try splitting them up.

(command ".snap" "a" 60 60)
(command "_.dimlinear" pause pause pause)

Didn't realize you can do that. I wondered if there was a way to place
multiple commands in one line.

The single quote is to use a command transparently while another command is
running. Only some commands allow this, but snap is one of them. I think
Stefano is OK having the third pause after setting a snap value, and I can
easily imagine you'd want snap off while you picked the first two points,
but then on to position the dimension line. But the single quote is only
appropriate for the snap command, not the "a" option. Try leaving the
single quote and period out before the "a":

(command "_.dimlinear" pause pause "'_.snap" "_a" 60 60 pause)

It's the same as Jon's, but with the single-quoted snap command so the third
pause can be after that. I think Jon's would work except that with the
third pause added in the middle, the one at the end doesn't do anything any
more, and there might not be much point in setting a snap value after the
dimension command is over.
