Qdim using aligned instead of linear

[WarrenDeSouza]

I have a poly line with multiple segments. Some segments are straight lines, others are arcs.  For the straight line segments, I need it to dimension using aligned. for the arcs, I need it to dimension using  arc length.

When I use the Qdim function on this poly line, it only gives linear Dimensions. 

Is there anyway to achieve what I want using a custom command macro or will it require AutoLisp?

Welcome to the Visual lisp forum.

Whenever you post your request attach sample dwg that shows your typical problem situation. In this case attach a drawing with an appropriate dimension style that you use. This helps a lot.

Ok this is a bit late I know, but I just had this issue and I wanted to see if anyone had a solution.

I did find a work around with mine, see below.

I changed the UCS to align with the lines that I wanted to add dimensions too. Afterwards, QDim works perfectly for dimensioning.

I hope this helps other people also looking for solutions without needing to use AutoLisp.

Does DimPoly.lsp >here< do what you want?  Look through earlier Messages in that topic, and/or Search for DimPoly for other Topics that contain other versions of it, in case there are differences that matter to you.
