Using "\X" in AutoLISP routine

    I am currently using AutoCAD 2004. I want to add a dimension to a drawing using a LISP routine. The dimension needs to be on two line, above and below the dimension line.

    The LISP rounte has the "\X" command in the file, but the "\" character is missing in the drawing when the LISP routine is run.

    The following is in the LISP file:
    (command "DIM""VERTICAL"" 427.45, 390"" 427.45, 316.5"" 432.45, 352.5""VISION PANEL CENTRE HEIGHT \X FROM BOTTOM OF PANEL = 1500""EXIT")

    But only the following appears in the text override box in the drawing:

    "VISION PANEL CENTRE HEIGHT X FROM BOTTOM OF PANEL = 1500"

    Can someone tell me what is going wrong?

    Thanks,

    Ben

    Hi Ben,

    You should use a double \\ to make it work:

    (command "DIM""VERTICAL"" 427.45, 390"" 427.45, 316.5"" 432.45, 352.5""VISION PANEL CENTRE HEIGHT \\X FROM BOTTOM OF PANEL = 1500""EXIT")
