Have you looked at Acad help by searching "DIMBLK" or "DIMBLK1" or "DIMBLK2"?

When the default arrowhead (closed-filled arrowhead) is used in Acad, the value of System Variables "DIMBLK", "DIMBLK1" and DIMBLK2" is "" (blank string). That is why GetVariable("DIMBLK") returns "".

Read Acad's Help for more details.

Again, have you read/searched Acad Help? The answer is right there: to set system variable DIMBLK/DIMBLK1/DIMBLK2 back to its default "" value (closed-filled arrowhead), you enter a "." ( a dot).

Quote from Acad Help:

To return to the default, closed-filled arrowhead display, enter a single period (.).


Here is sample code
{code}

Public Sub Test()

ThisDrawing.SetVariable "DIMBLK", "_DOT"
MsgBox "->" & ThisDrawing.GetVariable("DIMBLK") & "<-"

ThisDrawing.SetVariable "DIMBLK", "."
MsgBox "->" & ThisDrawing.GetVariable("DIMBLK") & "<-"

End Sub

{code}
