Move dimension text programatically?

[mdhutchinson]

How can I move dimension text with lisp.
I tried the attached but can't seem to get it to work.
Help!
If this method can not be used is there a way to access the grip node and move through a grip edit programatically?

vla-put-insertionpoint seems to work. I'm sure
you could do it with vanilla lisp as well, although
I haven't tried.

(setq obj (vlax-ename->vla-object (car (nentsel))))

#

(setq pt (vlax-3d-point (getpoint)))
#

Command: (vla-put-insertionpoint obj pt)
nil

then regen or update the object.

not a bad idea but when I try this I get:
Error: ActiveX Server returned the error: unknown name: InsertionPoint

I copied your suggestion right to the command line.

I just copied it to the command line as well, and it worked.
You sure a character or somethin' didn't get whacked off
during the copy/paste? Just guessin'

You must click directly on the text of dimension, then the code will work nicely.
