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. <img src="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/smileys/smiley36.gif" border="0" alt="LOL" title="LOL" /><br>]]>

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<br>]]>

    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/member_profile.asp?PF=423875">pweeks</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> 12297<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 20.Apr.2017 at 17:36<br /><br />Hey guys,<br><br>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. <br><br>Not sure if it is possible but can I create a macro or a lisp command that will allow me to turn these off? <br><br>I'm more knowledgeable in Macros so if there is a possibility through that I would really appreciate it.<br><br>Thanks<br>]]>
