Hey guys,Sometimes when creating my associative dimensions I will come across cases where I need to turn off both of the EXT lines in the dim. I usually achieve this by going through the Properties bar and turning Ext Line 1 and 2 from ON to OFF. Not sure if it is possible but can I create a macro or a lisp command that will allow me to turn these off? I'm more knowledgeable in Macros so if there is a possibility through that I would really appreciate it.Thanks

Why bother?  Make a copy of your dimension style and look at the Lines tab.  Place checkmarks where it says....Supress:  __Ext Line 1   __Ext Line 2Switch between the original and the copy for your different dimensional needs.  No programming needed.

I've been becoming a fan of creating custom ribbon macro's. I can probably create a macro that will set a selection to a dim style with your suppression. Just my preference right now I guess. Thanks John

Suit yourself.  In the time it takes to click on the macro you could just as easily select a different dimstyle.

I'm combining your idea with mine. Creating a dim style and going to either make a macro to set selected dims to the created dim style you referenced. Or just customize my ribbon to include dim styles in the home tab. I don't know why but switching tabs is annoying to me. Your idea will be implemented John. Thanks as always. I strive to achieve your knowledge in CAD and sarcastic/witty comments.

I've never uttered a witty comment in my life.

 ^c^cDIMOVERRIDE DIMSE1 ON DIMSE2 ON ; That will leave you at the prompt to select Dimensions, as many as you want to change all at once, by any selection method(s) and options you like.  You could also make one that's self-repeating, letting you pick just one, and you would see the change immediately as you pick each one.  But then you'd have to select them all one at a time, and couldn't use Window or Crossing selection, etc. But I agree that if you know ahead of time you want a Dimension to not show extension lines, it's probably better to set a different Style that has them suppressed, before you draw it, rather than draw it first and then turn the extension lines off after the fact.

Thanks Kent!
