Place Radius dimension displays "Enter dimension text" at command line

[todd.80290]

I'm having problems with the Radius Dimension command. When I pick the arc to dimension I get a prompt on the command line "Enter dimension text <25>". I don't want this option. I just want it do dimension the 25' radius arc. What setting do I need to change?
Thanks, Todd

What happens if you just press Enter ?

What happens if you just press Enter ?and if you don't get the ' foot mark automatically, check the dimension formatting options.

Is the Text option of the _.DimRadius command somehow being automatically run, as that would cause the display of Enter dimension text <25> ?

Have a good one, Mike

When I hit enter it places the radius dimension into the drawing, but I have 100 of these to do and hitting enter at this prompt takes alot of extra time.
How do I tell if the 'text' option is automatically being run? Where can I change this?

Once the _.DimRadius command has finished running review the AutoCAD Command Window [F2].

How are you running the _.DimRaduis command in the first place eg

* Pull-down menu.
* Toolbar.
* Tool Palette.
* Typing at the AutoCAD command line.
* etc.

Mike,
The command line looks like this:
Command: _dimradius
Select arc or circle:
Enter dimension text <25>

Specify dimension line location or [Mtext/Text/Angle]:

I'm using the toolbar button to start the command.

The macro associated with the button should read - ^C^C_dimradius

It's viewable in the cui editor - right-click a blank toolbar area and pick "customize".

[todd.80290]

Yes, this is exactly what the command looks like. Any suggestions on how to get rid of the prompt for the dimension?
Thanks, Todd

Change the macro. Unfortunately, I can't help you there. I don't deal with macros much.

Ok! I can now reproduce the command sequence you are seeing for _.DimRadius

If I set DimAssoc = 0 then run the _.DimRadius command, I see the same command sequence as quoted above.

What is DimAssoc ( Saved in: Drawing ) set to at your end ?

If 0, set it to 1 or 2.

Personally I work with DimAssoc = 2

Have a good one, Mike

Mike, you are infinitely smarter than I. Thank you so much. This fixed the problem.
