Using DIMPOST in a Lisp routine

By Xiaodong Liang

Question
I’m trying to change DIMPOST to \X in a lisp routine. The program will not accept \X in a lsp program. I’m want to change Dimstyle using the set up; Method set to NONE for both primary(Metric) and alternate units(English) and alternate unit placement under the primary units. I can do this manually but not in the lisp.

Solution
With these Lisp statements, the dimension formatting were as requested by the developer :

<<<

; To reset the alternative dimension prefix and suffix

(command-s "DIMAPOST" ".")

; To reset the primary dimension prefix and suffix

(command-s "DIMPOST" ".")

; To set the orientation of the alternative dimension over the primary dimension

(setvar "DIMPOST" "\X")
