Thanks for the article. I am sorry that I did not mention that I am using ACAD 2012. The two commands that do not show up at the Command list. If type DIM at the commands list, dim commands show up, but as soon as add a R to Dim (DIMR)the command list goes blank. Dimreassoc Dimrotated are the commands I would like to add to my custom toolbar. Thanks all for viewing. Javier |

Dimension, Reassociate Dimensions does indeed show up on the list of commands. I'm looking at it right now (AutoCAD 2012). ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

  Yup. Both there in the Command List on the CUI page. I'd recommend you create a custom toolbar with these two commands and any others you regularly use. Follow the steps in my paper above and get your system set up just the way you like! Have fun! Dave. ------------- Dave Hein, P.E.

 Hello javierperez, you can also update your acad.pgp file so you can use short alias.
Here is where to find it on AutoCAD Mechanical ( 2012 french release ).
You can find your PGP file in C\Program files\Autocad or Autodesk....... with asearch with the word acad.pgp.
I you update it directly from AutoCAD you will have to reinit it ( command REINIT ) or shut and open again your AutoCAD.

javier is not looking to add the commands to his acad.pgp file. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |

Yes John but it's an other way for a quick access to his most used commands. |

javier specifically says he wants to add the two commands to his custom toolbar. ------------- "Humans have a strength that cannot be measured. This is John Connor. If you are reading this, you are the resistance." <<AutoCAD 2015>> |
