How to Quickly flip dimensions in one click in AutoCAD?
If you are an AutoCAD user, you know how important it is to have clear and consistent dimensions in your drawings. Dimensions can show the size, location, and orientation of your objects, as well as provide specifications and tolerances. However, sometimes you may need to flip the dimensions in your drawing, for various reasons. For example, you may want to change the direction of the dimension lines, the position of the dimension text, or the alignment of the dimension arrows.
But how can you do this task easily and quickly? AutoCAD does not have a built-in command to flip the dimensions in a drawing. You have to use the DIMEDIT command, which allows you to edit the properties of selected dimensions, but it is not very convenient or flexible. You have to go through several options and sub-options, and repeat the process for each dimension that you want to flip.
But what if I told you there is a way to flip the dimensions in your drawing in just one click? Yes, you heard me right. One-click. And you don’t need any special software or plugins to do it. All you need is a simple AutoCAD LISP routine that you can load and run in your AutoCAD session.
After you have uploaded the LISP file, you need to type 'DAD' to activate it.
Then select the dimensions.
That’s it. You have successfully flipped the dimensions in your drawing in one click using a LISP routine. You can use this LISP routine as many times as you want, on any drawing that you want. You can also customize the LISP routine to suit your needs, such as changing the flip mode or the flip angle.
You can download the lisp from here.
