Sounds like you want to look at the DIMSTYLESET key-ins. But I second Barry's suggestion, dimensions styles are probably the way to go.

Hi Cole,

I think you are approaching this the wrong way. Instead of trying to code the settings, I think you should instead create a Dimension Style with those settings in place, and then all you need to do in VBA is activate the Dimension Style (replace ColeDimStyle1 with the name of your dimension style):

CadInputQueue.SendCommand "DIMSTYLE ACTIVE ColeDimStyle1"

I understand that part, but I want all of those attributes in the picture to be set. MU:SU doesn't change from that keyin. There are many ways to do the accuracy. But i can't pin one down.

vba execute ActiveSettings.CoordinateAccuracy=16

Tried this with no luck.

For Design File Unit settings try the following key-in. Check Wiki
