Add text to dimension, keep dimension measurement

Anonymous
Not applicable
Using VBA, how can I add text to a dimension, like an override, but keep the measurement?

Example: a dimension reads 1'-0", change it to read (4) SPACES @ 1'-0" = 4'-0"

The goal is to keep the dimension measurement "live".

Replace text with "
size=3>(4) SPACES @ <> " = 4'-0".  Notice the brackets will be
replaced by the actual dimension value.
