AutoCAD LT - Dimension Macro

[davelomas]

Relatively new to creating Macros so don't know if this one is possible.

Basically in my role, we have to create cut sheets that show all dimensions of the stone that we will then cut. We usually do each line/polyline/arc individually. Is it possible to create a macro that could do this automatically? Would this be possible to create to work for multiple objects?

Ideally, I would love to be able to select all the units we need to annotate and then run a macro that would add dimensions automatically. As I say, relatively new to writing macros so not sure if this is even possible.

I've added a screenshot which may show an example of something we would do.

Nothing like that is possible. Sorry.

But you can, while in the correct DIM command, simply select the object to dimension instead of clicking the two points for each section (aka it is a bit faster).

Ah well, we'll stick to the old way of doing it then!

Thanks for looking @pendean

What if you are trying to get the dimension of a space, like the distance between a table edge and a wall?

INT or END to snap to the table edge then PERP at the wall while using your preferred dimension (or DIST) command that is relevant to your intent: I am assuming you are familiar with those OSNAPs, if not, post back.
