NENTSEL and ENTSEL

[aaronic_abacus]

If I select a dimension using NENTSEL on the mtext, is there a way to get the dimension list from the main dim entity that ENTSEL would have?
So I want to ENTGET CAR NENTSEL and find the root entity name.

Here's an example of modifying the Line Space Factor of Dimension Mtext you could modify for whatever you're trying to do.

When you nentsel you get a pick point re use that with ssget pt "near" pre set and it will find the dim.

(setq ent (entget (car (nentsel))))
(setq pt (assoc 10 ent))
(setq pt (list (nth 1 pt)(nth 2 pt)))
(setq pt (list (nth 1 pt)(nth 2 pt)))
(setq ss (ssget pt))
(setq obj (ssname ss 0))

wow! thanks guys! I was playing with DIMSTYLE with that point.

so now boom! select with NENTSEL and get ENTSEL as well (via SSGET) , sweet.

Here's a program using that method.
