?? Is there a command that allows you to auto dimension objects with a click of a finger?

DIMLINEAR or DIMALIGNED command, hit twice and simply pick the like or Pline segment you want to dimension. Then use DIMCONTINUE command to keep running with that same dimension thread. -- Dean Saadallah Add-on products for LT http://www.pendean.com/lt --

Also, to pick up a dimension thread that has been started use DIMCONTINUE and pick "Select dimension to continue" and it will start where you left off.

DIMBASELINE is one to explore also.

I've seen the QDIM in operation. (Drool with Envy, gotta start saving my pennies)

It is on the later versions. Not sure what year they started including it on LT versions.

I stumbled into this thread and remembered that I help someone a year ago:

There is not Lisp in LT up to Version LT2023, but started in Version 2024 there is an Lisp API.

 

Not 100% of Lisp functions are available in LT.

If  someone try to use AD (AD-Automatic Dimension Autocad.lsp) in LT2024 or newer:

In case of the linked tool "AD", it will not work in LT - but you can use it with this LT-fix

Load 'AD-Automatic Dimension Autocad' first, then  load "AD-AutomaticDimensionAutocad-LT" <click>.

The only difference to the original function in full AutoCAD: The tool can't remember what was your last used option of this command in this drawing.
