    Dimensions created in earlier ver. of AutoCad

    There is an issue with AutoCAD 2008 and 2009 dimensions that were created in an earlier version of AutoCad. For example, when a file is opened that has dimensions created in 2006 or earlier and the dimension text has been manually moved the text justification changes from middle center to middle bottom and the text moves a new position.
    Has this issue been fixed in AutoCAD 2010?

    I do not remember well but I think that the problem is in 288 DXF group.

    I use a similar workaround:

    {code}

    DstDat = (entget (tblobjname "DIMSTYLE" DIMSTYLE_Name)))

    (if (setq Dxf288 (assoc 288 DStDat))
    (and (= 1 (cdr Dxf288)) (setq DStDat (subst (cons 288 0) Dxf288
    DStDat)))
    (setq DStDat (append DStDat (list '(288 . 0))))
    )

    {code}
