HI EVERYBODY, long time ago (in 2004 version) I went from 2004 to 2014 in one jump. I had modified the dim command to send him to the dim layer, before putting a dim. I lost the info, and can't find it. If somebody has it can you please help me.
I went from 2004 to 2014 in one shot.

Can we assume that your template file already has a dimension layer included?  Should that be the case then at least the modification won't have to make the layer first.

Which dim command are we talking about?  DIMLINEAR?

Hi John, I just want to make the dim layer the current layer before putting the dimension, that way it saves one step. It was done in the macro of the command, I just can't remember the sintaxis.
 
Thanks

Which dim command?  There are several.  DimLinear, DimAligned, DimAngular, etc.  All or one?

it works for all of them, it just have to be inserted in the macro before the actual command, it goes between ^C^C and "dimaligned"

Edit the CUI and add the -layer command, set, and your layer name.  Don't forget the dash.
