Dim Function

[Abby_Baratta]

Hello,

I've been working with some LISP routines that were originally written for AutoCAD 2004 and I'm trying to get them to run smoothly in 2022. I'm running into an issue with one of my "dim" functions.

I am getting the error:

From the block of code that says:

(command "dim" "dimtix" 1
	"dim" "horiz"
	(list (- 0 10.25) 6.375)
	(list 0 8.3125)
	(list (/ 5.186 2) 14.484) "" "exit"
	"dim" "dimtix" 0))

I'm not very familiar with the "dim" command, so any insight would be appreciated!

Not sure...

Have you tried with DIMALIGNED...

(setvar (quote dimtix) 1)
(command "_.dimaligned"
  (list (- 0 10.25) 6.375)
  (list 0 8.3125)
  (list (/ 5.186 2) 14.484)
)
(setvar (quote dimtix) 0)

That didn't throw an error and it added the piece that I wanted it to. The only part that's funky now is that it's angled instead of horizontal.

How it's supposed to look:

How it does look:

Thank you!!

Since Horiz is no longer an option under the Dim command you'll have to change the code to look like this:

(command "_.Dim" "_dimtix" 1 "_EXIT"
	"_.Dimhorizontal"
	(list (- 0 10.25) 6.375)
	(list 0 8.3125)
	(list (/ 5.186 2) 14.484)
	"_.Dim" "_dimtix" 0 "_EXIT")

That ended up working perfectly - thank you!
