Do you have AutoCAD desktop install?  or can get a AutoCAD trial? You could edit the DWG file there and created the desired dimension style, otherwise...

If you only have AutoCAD web, there is a work around if you have a drawing with the desired dimstyle.

  1. With that good drawing, then SaveAs to a new name, like "dimstyles".
  2. Erase everything but the dims using the style(s) that you want to use
  3. Run the PURGE command to get rid of the other stuff
  4. Save this
  5. Open the drawing that needs the dimstyle
  6. Click on the Blocks tab
  7. Click "browse for blocks" and select the DWG you named "dimstyles" in the previous steps.
  8. Insert the DWG

Once you insert the "dimstyles" DWG, you will be able to use the dimension style and apply it to your existing dimensions.  This method can be used to get blocks, text styles, dimstyles, linetypes, or layers from another drawing.  If you need everything, then skip the PURGE step.

 

Hope this helps,

Jon

I was looking for a way just to change the scale.  The above instructions was too much work, so I tried something else.  I typed DIM in the command line then hit enter.  Then I typed in Scale.  Then entered my scaling factor.  So glad this worked because all I wanted to do was change the scale.
