    This is what i am trying to accomplish...

    When i use an aligned dimension (alt + A for me), i want to be asked what angle to make the dimension lines and what style text (so i can specify angles).

    This would save me from typing "dimedit" "o" "30" then going into properties of the dimension and choosing an angled text. I know i need a macro to do this but i'm unfamiliar with how to use the VBA etc. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

    Thanks in advance,
    Vince

    Hi Vince,

    You could add this lisp code after the dimension is added to take care of the task.

    (command "DIMEDIT" "O" "L" "" "30")

    Hope that helps,
