Macro for changing dimstyle after DIMANGULAR

Hi,

 

I have a problem with writing a macro to set another dimstyle after using DIMANGULAR.

I did it for DIMRADIUS and it works well. 

I think the problem is that user have to select two lines to determine the angle

 

For the Radius

 

^C^C-layer;set;FULL;;_Dimstyle;R;"RADIUS1";DIMRADIUS \;_Dimstyle;R;"DIM1";

 

For the Angle

 

^C^C-layer;set;FULL;;_Dimstyle;R;"ANGLE1";DIMANGULAR \\;_Dimstyle;R;"DIM1";

Do they not both need an additional \ for the positioning of the dimension line?

But in addition, do you need separate Dimension Styles for radial vs. angular measurements?  Every Style has settings for both linear [which radial Dimensions are] and angular varieties, so you should be able to handle both in one Style.

@kubaszymanski  hi,

 

DIMANGULAR need extra pause '\' and does not need the following enter ';'

1. It depends on your need. Radius work well like that

2. Yeah.. I know, but I need to stick with the client standards so I'm looking for some time savers..
