DIMROTATED button

Anonymous — Tue, 22 Dec 2020 09:03:55 GMT

Hi there, hoping that one of you guys can help me out with adding a button to the ANNOTATION panel for the DIMROTATED command.

Only came across this useful command yesterday and was amazed that this isnt already included and you have to type in manually in the command line.

I've looked in the CUI already for the command but cant see it anywhere, so obviously cannot assign a button.

Anybody come across this one before?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers all!!!

Use command CUI in system console to start Customize User Interface. There you can add command particular ribbon.

Hi, and thanks for the very quick reply.

The trouble I'm having is that I cannot find the DIMROTATED command in the COMMAND LIST part of the CUI and thats the only way I know of adding a button to the panels.

Do you know of the location of DIMROTATED?

Thanks again.

1. You can create your own - CUI dialog is the right dialog for that.

^C^C_.DIMROTATED

2. DIMROTATED is a command to create DIMLINEAR dimensions with the ROTATED option & angle /= 0

so it the same result like ^C^C_.DIMLINEAR;\\_r

Hi thanks for the information.

I must admit, I am a little bit of a newbie in this area so I just need a little clarification on this please.

When you say ^C^C_.DIMROTATED, does this mean that I need to create a macro for this first, then add the button to the macro via the CUI interface?

Thanks again.
