Slide text along a line

I have lisp routines that allow me to slide text along an arc, but I am looking for one that will allow me to slide text/mtext along a line/polyline keeping the same offset distance from the line.  Sometimes my dimesions come in on a line, but not where I want it so I want to be able to pick that dimension, click the line and slide it keeping the same distance from the line.  And yes I know I can to a move from nearest on the line to nearest on the line where I want it, but I would love just a two click process instead of the move command.  I have seen something like it before at an old company and it was just quicker. Any help is appreciated.

See: http://lee-mac.com/dtcurve.html

Note that "curve" as used here means arc, line, polyline, spline, etc., not just arc.
