I reckon you need a lisp routine to do the work.

You must have done something wrong. Try again.

No sir,

i did the bellow

Command: CHANGEDIMOBJECT

Select objects: 1 found

Select objects: ; error: no function definition: DTR

Specify point on positive-Y portion of the UCS XY plane <129.4576,138.5712,0.0000>:

then i checked the properties its still Aligned Dimension 😞

DTR is a common name for a Degrees-To-Radians converter, which they must have omitted from their command definition, probably because they have one loaded automatically. Try putting this in:

(defun dtr (deg) (* (/ deg 180.0) pi))

You should be able to just paste that into the Command: line and try the CHANGEDIMOBJECT command again, but ideally you should include it in its .lsp file [if that's what it is], or in acaddoc.lsp to load it automatically.
