Macro for Text Fill Color

[kubaszymanski]

Hi everyone!

I'm trying to make macro which let me change Fill Color in Dimensions to "Background". I'd like to have it as keyboard shortcut.

As a start I create macro to change suffix/prefix, and color but I can't find command for "Fill color". Could anyone help?

^C^C_DIMOVERRIDE;DIMCLRT;4;DIMPOST;%%P<>”;;m;\;

Are you an LT user?

[kubaszymanski]

Yes, I'm looking for solution that will work on LT version.

Any reason you opted to pass on the advise in the first reply to you? Here is the link https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/autocad-lt-forum/macro-for-text-fill-color/m-p/10672665#M191848

Any reason you don't just have a second DIMSTYLE defined with this and you simply switch/change to it?

I've tried but it seems dimoverride doesn't recognize these two variables.

Commandline: "Variable "DIMTFILL" not found."

As per adding dimstyle. I'm working for different clients. They send me every time new templates, so I'd have to add dimstyles before I start draw.

However, meanwhile I found solution on the other forum.

^C^C$M=$(IF,$(=,$(getvar,DIMTFILL),0),_setvar;DIMTFILL;1;_DRAWORDER;Previous;;Front;,_Setvar;DIMTFILL;0;_DRAWORDER;Previous;;back;)_-Dimstyle;Apply;\;

Yes, I see that.

I thought it will be possible without "getvar" like change of color in my first example. 

I'm not so good at DIESEL, need to learn a bit.
