Hi,

You can select them by SELECTSIMILAR command. Click on below image to see how it works.

If you mean those Dimensions that show no text, they have a space as override text content. Put this in at the Commmand: line to select/grip/highlight them:

(sssetfirst nil (ssget "_X" '((0 . "DIMENSION") (1 . " "))))

What are your SelectSimilar Settings? When I do that, it finds all the Dimensions, not just the empty ones. I don't see a choice for text content in the Settings, but maybe that's in newer versions [Acad2020 here]. And in your video, it finds one that is not empty [the short one with just a decimal point content].

But QSELECT can also be used to find Dimensions with a Text override of " " [a space].
