Changing dimstyle of all dimensions with a specific precision

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a LISP or script that I can run that would allow me to quick select all dimensions with a specific precision (i.e. metric 0.00) so I am able to match properties and change all the selected layers to a 2 place metric dim style.

I need to be able to do this because I have to change a lot of drawings to a new standard and this would help save me a lot of time.

Thanks for the help!

you can use select similar in the right click menu to grab all the objects you want to change then you can use the properties palette to change the precision there. 

Past that i might pose your question in the forum where the automation/customization crowd hangs out: https://knowledge.autodesk.com/support/autocad/learn-explore/caas/CloudHelp/cloudhelp/2016/ENU/AutoC...

i suggest to use QSELECT command that can serve you and without any outsource help.(see below image)

Thank you for your response!

Unfortunately, this isn't exactly what I need as a solution for this problem. I am looking to select all two place metric and put them onto a two place metric dim style, and then do the same thing for one place metric and three place metric and so on. Currently they are all on one dimstyle with precision overrides. I have 3 different dim styles with 3 different precision that each need to be on the corresponding dimension style.

Thanks again!

This is what I am currently doing but this becomes very time consuming when you have to qselect all two place precision for each dimension types (i.e. rotated dimension, ordinate dimension, diametric dimension, etc...)
