Honor Present DIMSCALE & Change All Dims to Preset Styles

[chillpill]

Is it possible to have LISP collect various dimensions types i.e., linear, radial, etc. and set these (let's assume they are "non-standard" styles) at one time?

Here are my thoughts / specifications as follows. The program would:

 

• Store in a list all preset / "standard" dimension styles' names/variables either externally from a data file or internally in its code.
• Provides a user selection option of single selections or have it select all dimensions.
• Collect and store the pre-existing dimension's DIMSCALE value and pass that value to the preset dimension style.
• Convert all properties, including color, to the desired dimension style.

 

Thanks,

Clint Hill

As DIMSCALE is defined in every Dimension Style all you need to do is switch to the appropriate Dimension Style.

I like it! Thanks "tombu" !

I understand about DIMSCALE.

I originally desired pointers or snippets required to programmatically convert any and all dimension styles in a file to a desired dimension style.

You could select them with 

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "X" '((0 . "DIMENSION"))))

and use the Ribbon drop-down to set the Dimension Style.
