1. you need to create dim styles in a dgn lib with all the settings your require and give it / them names and point the dgn lib in everyones config.

2, you need to publish training on what your company std requires..

3. in that training you need to be able to show that one needs to select the required dim style to do dimensioning..not the conventional default dim style out of the box so to speak, but the one you desired them to use..

4. To help do this you could create a custom tool pull down Called YOURCOMPANY or STD Dimensioning and in that you

predefine the standard settings required , style name, text style, colour weight and level name you may even be able to use templates to do this but I'm not across templates as well as I should...

Both of those links are to my own posts. I tried to solve this before, as you can see.

Neither thread has a solution. The one that runs a keyin would work, but I cannot have separate keyins. It has to be automatic when the user places the dimension.

The other thread dealt with design file MU precision vs. dimension style precision. The dimension style primary units display is set entirely in the dim style? I think?

thanks for your time.
