I want to set up a dim. style that will automatically show the word "EQUAL" instead of the actual dimension. Can that be done and how do I do it?

Hi
Please note I have *moved* this thread from the CAD Standards forum to this one as I feel this particular Forum is a more appropriate place for such a topic.
Thanks, Mike

Hi
I am not so sure you can ( but then again I am wrong all time )...
Take a look at the following threads, for some ideas...
Add text "REF" to dimensions
Add tolerances to dimensions
Have a good one, Mike
I've always done the good ol' text override to get equal in. One trick I've done is copy a generic dim into my handy Text template drawing text override the dim and then copy it in to a drawing when I needed Equal and then move the grips to fit the area. It's not nice, or automatic but it works.
AFAIK - there is no way to force a dimstyle to not include the measurement itself.Originally Posted by pallen
You could use something like the code below to override the text (adjust the command name as required)
Code:(command "._dimlinear") (while (eq 1 (logand (getvar "cmdactive"))) (command pause) ) (command "._dimedit" "_N" "EQUAL" (entlast) "")
