Automatically Add Appended Text to Dimensions

Automatically Add Appended Text to Dimensions

Automatically Add Appended Text to Dimensions

(OP)
Hello All,

Due to protocol where I work I am required to add a user-defined symbol at the end of each dimension present on a print. As you can imagine, this is quite laborious...

I have generated a macro which, upon selecting a dimension and activating the macro, will add the symbol. Unfortunately, this only seems to work on one dimension at a given time and is not automatic.

Is there a way to automatically add an append text to each dimension as I add them to the print?

Thank you in advance for your help!
Daniel
