Editing Mulitple Dimension Styles

[Cinimod89]

Is there a way to edit multiple dimension styles at once?

I'll start, others can chime in...

Create a MyList of dimension styles:

(tblnext "DIMSTYLE" T)

(if (> (length MyList) 0)

 (foreach item MyList

  command .dim restore item exit

  tweak the individual dimvars

  command .dim save item yes exit

 );foreach

);if

Maybe a simple yes/no dialog box asking the user if next dimension style requires editing?

Do you think this is one of the main reasons for annotative dimensions..? So that you don't have to update mulitple dimension styles and can just use one style which prints at a consistant height based on the viewport's scale..   If that's really what it's meant for then my school royally f'd up the class on dimensioning

You only need one dimension style (and textstyle) for all viewport scales.  You can change the size of text and dimension using textsize and dimscale variables. IF they will only be shown in viewports with the same scales.

Annotative objects are meant to appear in one spot in model space but be displayed through multiple, differently scaled viewports.  I have no need for this functionality but I'm sure it is usefull for others.
