Hello, I am working on making a Master Template for my coworkers that are used to CADMAX and I am trying to make it feel more at home for them. One thing they have is a selection window that they can switch between different dimension styles (Normal dimension, M.O. and J.T. suffixes) without exiting the dimension command and/or typing it in manually. This is no problem for me, but constant complaints over "CADMAX can do this better" from CADMAX veterans are something I am trying to lessen. I do know that exiting the command and selecting the different dim style from the Annotation drop down is probably the best way to do it, but any convenience that Autocad can do better does get praised
I am pondering if it is possible to write additionally to the command to pop a window open when the dimension command is open. I would have my different dimension styles load on a window and you can select between them mid command is what I am looking for. Thank you for your time.

Drag a dimension that has the dimension style and layer settings you want to the palette. Make sure not to use a dimension style that is already defined out of the box to have different settings. The tool palette can't override current dimstyle settings but it can establish a dimension style if it doesn't already exist.
