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

    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

    and if you don't get the ' foot mark automatically, check the dimension formatting options.

    Hi

    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?

    Hi

    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.

    Have a good one, Mike

    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".

    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.
    If you have a technical question, please find the appropriate forum and ask it there.
    You will get a quicker response from your fellow AUGI members than if you sent it to me via a PM or email.
