Quick Select Lisp to select all dimensions with same value

[Anonymous]

Need to select all the same dimensions with the same dimension style, layer, and value; and then prompt me to override the dimension, which is not necessary a numeric value.

I have been using Quick Select for this task but in most cases I have to work with a lot of dimensions in drawings and is time consuming and repetitive. I have tried the Action recorder and does not go past the command and does not select object type and properties; and I have to enter the numeric value to select all similar dimensions.

Can any help me out with a AutoLisp command that can do all this?

Here's an interesting thing about the SELECT command, that is different  from any editing command involving object selection:  It can take any amount  of selection operations and options under one  User-input place-holder.  You can reduce the above quoted snippet to just:

  (command "_.select" ss pause)

Similarly, in macro format, you can use

  SELECT \

with that single backslash for User selection, and it will likewise let you pick multiple things, by individual selection or window or fence or lasso, remove, add, etc. -- all the options -- until you tell it your selection is complete, before it goes on to the next thing in the macro.

Thank you. I really appreciate the time spent on this.

I tried out the autolisp but adding or removing a selection should be available after the initial duplicate dimensions selection routine. If the prompt for new value should comes after the selection option. Right now, it's stuck until a value is entered.
