I've been banging my head on how to stretch a dimension via VBA. When I add a dimension to a selection set and then move the object the whole dimension moves. What I want to do is just move that control point and leave the other end fixed. Ideas? Work arounds? I thought about sendcommand but then I'd have to convert all my points to strings.....NOT.

Hi RickyD302,
You'll need to move the endpoint or startpoint of the dimension entity, not the entire dimension itself.

Hi RickyD302,
look at the ExtLine1Point and ExtLine2Point properties for dimaligned entities in the help files, this should get you what you need.
