I haven’t tried it but don’t think it will work. A dimension is a complex, associative object. Use DIMSTYLE instead. Once you have set up your dimension style, it’s easy to apply it to other dimensions.

I’ve never seen this, but I would check the dimension style, especially if you created one. There’s a setting, I think on the Primary Units tab, that suppresses zeroes–maybe it has something to do with that. Does it suppress a decimal amount if you show in decimals?

For some reason my dimensions are not showing the fractional portion of a dimension. Example: if I have a line that is 12′-0 1/2″, it displays as 12′-0″. How can I correct this?

I don’t have LT to test it, but how about copying the text and pasting into an MTEXT window?

Is it possible to run a similar command in LT? Started my own company and it didn’t seem like it was worth spending the extra money on the full version for my needs… turns out LT does not include the Express Tools (which I didn’t realize) and these tools are so convenient! TCIRCLE, TXT2MTXT, etc.
