“dimension finder” tool for Autocad 2014 or 2015?

[eric.paris]

Hi, one of my customer asked for a "plugin" that exist in version 2010 of Autocad.

It's the “dimension finder” tool, and now they are using the version 2014. Someone know if this script exist for the version 2014 or something that replace it, or something new built-in?

Heres a link to the 2010 version with explanations: http://through-the-interface.typepad.com/through_the_interface/2010/03/using-overrules-to-highlight-...

Thanks!

If you go to the Customization board (http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/visual-lisp-autolisp-and-general/bd-p/130) and search on "find overridden dimensions", you will definitely find a LISP routine that will do what you appear to be describing.

Here is a link to one in particular that I recall seeing recently:

Ask the source of the original to help write an update might be the best place to start.
Posting in the .NET forum to seek others to help rewrite the code may be the other solution to try: http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/net/bd-p/152

You both may want to explore the AutoCAD Exchange Apps site for other potential options too while you wait: https://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/en
