Missing Command on AutoCAD 2019

[Anonymous]

Hello All,

I used to "FT" command to flip the dimension text in AutoCAD 2017. (pictures 1 and 2 )

now AutoCAD 2019 aberrantly removed that helpful and quick command. (Pictures 3 and 4)

Am I the only one who is having this problem or this command is really gone?

thank you,

Are you using a vertical?

FT is not Present in my 2016 or 2018.

Is this a lisp or plugin that you have purchased?

It is not a core command, did you use this autolisp and changed the FDT to FT  ???

You forgot to move your custom LISP or add-on that included "FT", that's not a core ability. YOu setup your 2017 for you? Where are those LISP file stored for 2017 to use?

Since you still have 2017 and it works, try something like this to track it down from 2017's commandline then move it

(findfile "FT.LSP")
or
(findfile "FDT.LSP")

hey mate, have a look in the bottom of the bag where all the fries fall out.

some times its down there.

or you could take a photo of the command and they send you a new one, and the Allen key that fits it.

Hello @Anonymous, 

Correct, this functionality is not standard.

The proper command that is supported in AutoCAD 2019 is the DIMTEDIT command that moves text and the dimension line you would follow the command prompts >Rotate > 180 > select object.

complete dumb luck i just ran across one of our users using FT. 

Here is the lisp he was using

(defun C:FT (/ ss i ent ele)
(setq ss (ssget '((0 . "DIMENSION")))
i (1- (sslength ss)))
(while (not (minusp i))
(setq ent (ssname ss i)
ele (entget ent))
(entmod
(subst (cons 51 (- (abs (cdr (assoc 51 ele))) PI))
(assoc 51 ele)
ele))
(entupd ent)
(setq i (1- i))))

What is Vertical? 

[TheCADnoob]

A vertical is a Autodesk Application built on top of AutoCAD like Architecture, MEP, ME, Plant 3D. More correctly since the advent of "Just one AutoCAD" these are now called toolsets.
