Brad-Got a call from person w/ a USI "opto" mouse that used to work w/ v2.6 und now don't work w/ rel9—-He works for a large outfit and doesn't know if he has a DUD disk around and he says ADI choice dint work–any ideas?? And another request for a routine to update dims that were *not* created w/ dimaso "on"- It sounds like a no to me, but I guess you could write a .scr that could just re-dimension some stuff but someone would have to tell it which dims to do-is it easy? Thanks also for your hard-hitting expose'on Mexican food in SB; I'm gonna go early…. Rb@avcom

Depends on what they want to "update". If they just want to change the dimension text, then sure, the operator could select the text entities and pass the selection-set on to an AutoLISP function that would make the changes. Anything more than that would get very complex very quickly…that't the whole purpose behind associative dimensions. Don't forget to try the margaritas at the Acupulco restaurant. As far as the Optimouse driver goes, I think Jamie or Steve would be better able to help you out.

Randy, the USI OptoMouse is no longer supported by AutoCAD (and hasn't been since before ver. 2.18). It's not even in the "Obsolete" directory of the R9 driver disk, or on the DUD. There may be a way to get it to work, but I don't know the secret. Sorry! =SM=
