I am writing a vlisp program to read the dimension entities in a drawing and write them to a text file. I use ssget to get the dims, then use entget and assoc 42 inside a while loop to read & write the dims. The program works fine for reading the basic dimensions. But the tolerances are not read. I checked the entity read by entget and it also shows no dotted pair showing the tolerance. Dotted pair showing the basic dimension is there in (42. 1234) Can somebody throw a hint on how to crack this one??
Thank you.

Tolerances are written as text overrides and are under Group 1 of the DXF codes. Beware, they are a little cryptic if you have not worked with them before.
