Can I have lines dimensioned, and automated as I draw

Hi all,

With Autocad, I am using lines to display pipework.

 

When I draw the lines out, for my pipework design. Then go back to dimension it all with a desired font, colour, height, position. I get that I can make a dim-style and then that will be okay for the rest of the way with that dim-style. But how can I obtain this to be displayed on my lines that I am drawing as I make a new line?

 

Furthermore could I dare say it would be possible to have the pipe's diameter, finish, and threaded / grooved end information from each line I draw, displayed in excel?

 

I spend quite a lot of time going back and forth and double checking. In hopes to make things a little easier and more appealing to look at when reviewing.

Part 2 provided the dimensions have all the detail then yes can do direct to Excel .
