Dimension Lines

I use and recommend this free script: https://www.marspremedia.com/software/illustrator/dimensions-illustrator

So there;s all of these paid plug ins and 200 line scripts - how about you just add the functionality Adobe! WTF? For what you all charge and all the useless crap in the program, maybe add something your customers want. Can't be that difficult.

Thank you all! Yes rcraighead, I discovered the Specify script. Its fantastic, and does exactly what I need. I modified a few things in the defaults so I dont have to set them each time I use it, and its been working great!

Not sure this free script has been mentioned. I've used it with good success – Specify.jsx.

The Nick Blakley script, does anyone know what to change so that it reports the proper height? Right now it posts the same height and width.

Dimension72a - $20 USD

This is awesome, it works like a charm.
Question though, it behaves bizarely when the dimension is smaller than the text box. Is it possible to reduce the ensemble to make it fit inside the dimensions ?

Thxs a bunch

Bump?

Back at it again.

I don't think Illustrator 2017 has added this feature yet. if so, please point me to it.

I just created the script again, but for some reason it creates the height and width as the same number

Where am i looking to correct the code? or can someone repost the code if they find the error.

thanks
