Instead of using "_dimaligned" for angled dimensions, I like to rotate the ucs and use the "_dimlinear" command so I can regulate the extension lines (I hope that makes sense).
I wrote a quick routine, but I'm sure it can be made better and cleaner.
Instead of picking three points to rotate the ucs, I'd like to select a line at the correct angle and have the ucs rotate to that angle, and when done, go back to world.
Or at least just pick two points for the angle
Here's what I have, it works pretty good:
Code:
(defun c:da ()
(command "ucs" "3" pause pause pause "") ;rotates the ucs
(command "_dimlinear" pause pause pause "") ;create my angled dimensions string
(command "ucs" "world") ;sets ucs back to world
)
(princ)
Any Ideas?
I'm sure this can easily be done better
thanks
