AutoCAD 2010/2011/2012 DWG Format

[#1]

What or where is the setting to change the dimension value input to automatic rather than accepting the default everytime I put a dimension in?  I don't want to be prompted for input.

Dimension Style Manager -> Modify -> Primary Units -> Measurement scale -> Scale factor: ... (write factor)

Appreciate the response but I'm not sure this was the solution.  Anyway, I tried it and nothing changed.  After I select a location for my dimension I'm asked to accept the default value or type in my own value.  I don't want this prompt.  I only want to place the dimension after I select a location without being prompted.  Sorry if I'm not getting it.

Just found it:

Autocad Mechanical 2012

Options, AMtandards tab

right click 'Dimension' click settings to get to 'Dimension Settings' dialog.

Down at bottom, "Display dimention text editor:"  Choose 'Only on Demand' in dropdown list.

Hope this helps.

Picture is related.

sorry but i don't have AM standards tab.  is there a command line entry to get to the dimensions settings dialog

You have to hit "ENTER" to accept the default value and complete the command.

I don't think there is any other way around that. nikolap's reply is worth taking a second look.

On my 2012 dimensions, It does not prompt for a location. But I cannot figure out which variable is controlling this. I am attaching a DWG with my settings and examples

Sorry I meant it does not prompt for text after location.
