    Why is it none of my code works? Every form I attempt gives me the error:

    -> lisp value has no coercion to VARIANT with this type: "MyDimStyle"

    But that DimStyle definitely exists and can betreived with ( vlax-item ... ). Here's the fragment I thought would work:

    ( vlax-put-property ( vla-get-activedocument ( vlax-get-acad-object ) ) 'ActiveDimStyle "MyDimStyle" )

    Thanks!

    Nick!
    What's up buddy.

    Its funny--just yesterday and today I'm writing a routine to insert our dimstyles. I tried the same thing you did...but it doesn't work the same as layers, you need to send it the actual dimstyle object.

    (setq mydimstyleObj
    (vla-item <DimStyleCollection> "MyDimStyle"))
    (vlax-put-property <DocObj> 'ActiveDimStyle mydimstyleObj)

    Good luck!
