Summary: Text linked to a dimension that will update when the dimension is updated.

Description: I would like to use the value of a dimension (call it a ghost) in a text line such as for cutting lists or bill of materials. I would like to have several different dim values hooked into the text line that would update whenever the dimension is stretched.

How Used: It will save quite a bit of time in re-editing the text in bill of materials or cutting lists.

Feature Affinity: Dimensions

I believe you could use a Field, linked to the Dimension Object Measurement property

%<\AcObjProp Object(%<\_ObjId 2129671952>%).Measurement \f "%lu6">%
