Dimension Extension lines (suppress if doubled up)

I'm curious if there is a setting in Autocad that will suppress extension lines if there are multiple.  My work is wanting to use either a Center line or a Phantom line for an extension line.  However in order to get this to look properly, I have to suppress extension lines of various dimensions individually so we can achieve this look?

I don't know of any setting or automatic way to do that, but I made a command to do it, the DET command in DimExtLineToggle.lsp, >here<.  You pick on a Dimension anywhere on it closer to the extension line you want to toggle, and it turns that one off if it's on, or on if it's off.  So you don't need to know which end is extension line 1 and which is 2, as you would to do it in the Properties palette.

I'm 100% positive this would almost be impossible to code correctly.  First you would need a hierarchy of which Dimensions rule the rest.  I'd be willing to bet a lot of money if this was possible it would create more problems than fix them.

Thanks dude, this is a great idea.  I didn't think of writing a script.  I'll do that instead.  Thank you!
