Dimension macro needed!

[CADMiester]

I'm looking for a macro to change the default text on a dimension to a different text.

My idea: On a drawing
o Hit "smart Dimension" and place dimension on the side of part
o Hit the Marco
o The Marco would change the text from the default to "Arial Black"
o End

Thanks for any help!!!!

Without macro, here are 2 options.
Tools > Options > Document Properties tab > Detailing > Annotation Font > Dimension to globally change font.

Create a dimension favorite.

I agree. No need for a macro. Doing what Flores suggested is just as quick as running a macro.

If you only want certain dims on the drawing to be in that font, wouldn't dimension favorites work for that? I think that's what they're for.

you could also just use teh Annotations font toolbar that comes up when you select a dimension.
