I want DIMLAYER to affect all dimensioning commands

Anonymous

Hey all,

 

I just upgraded to AutoCAD 2016 from 2015, and while messing around with the new system variables, I noticed that DIMLAYER only affects the "DIM" command, not "DIMLINEAR" or "DIMALIGNED". Most of the time when I'm dimensioning, I use one of those latter commands. Is there a way to get the DIMLAYER variable to apply to those commands as well?

 

Thanks in advance!

Customize with LISP if you need more abilities than present in core commands.

To set layers based on commands go here and use this lisp file, requires you to add in the commands and layers you want to use.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

If something I wrote can be interpreted two ways, and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, I meant the other one.
