Changing dimension text with VBA

Changing dimension text with VBA

Changing dimension text with VBA

(OP)
I'm writing a VB program to take standard panels and make custom details where an Excel spreadsheet gives height and width dimensions for the custom panel.  

I have some dimensions that I want to be able to change the text (forinstance "See Table A for dimension". Is there a way to change dimension text from within Visual Basic?

RE: Changing dimension text with VBA

Once you have the dim object, use the TextOverride property.

Thanks so much for the quick and helpful reply.  Why does it seem so hard to figure out until someone gives you the answer? Thanks again.

I know what you mean.
