I need a simple lisp that explodes dimensions, leaders and multileaders

I'm seriously about to pull my hair out. 

Before anyone says anything about how bad it is to explode dimensions...

Yes, I know. I preach this.

 

I need it nonetheless. I have to scale 15,000 files in half and convert them to tiffs. The tiff part is simple & the rest of my script works and there is a lot to my script.

 

They have all types of drawing that are different units and they are scaled in model space, which is also ridiculous. They also have a billion different dimension styles. I only need this for model space.

 

So please please please can someone help me with this. It doesn't seem like this should be that hard. I'm basically begging for help.

 

I have tried so many things that I have to reach out. 

 

Thank you in advance for saving my hair and my mind, because I'm losing it.

Talk about not seeing the forest through the trees... I didn't read your entire comment before. But... your idea changed everything. I did open each dwg thru the script & then made the whole thing a block, scaled it by 1/2 and changed the ltscale. BeeKeeCZ's lisp worked but only if the dims were already exploded. It would stop my script if they were. Now, it works like buttah. 

 

Having said that, I'd really like to pick your brain about the core thing. I have a 12 core AMD threadripper processor. I am using a different  script generator. For now, I only had to do 50 of them. But over the weekend is when the sludge of all this happens. So...if you don't mind, I'll hit you up on Sunday. No pressure, but I'd really appreciate the brain picking.

Regardless, thanks so much for jump starting my brain.


Let me know how I can help. It would be good if you attached a before and after drawing to have real data to work with. 🙂
