This lisp routine was downloaded from the internet. I've modified it from it's original version. AA applies aligned dimensions substituting custom character codes for the autocad dimension text. Likewise VV for vertical and HH for horizontal. ED edits dimension text. All works except RR for radial dimensions. What am I doing wrong. Thanks for any help.
