Making a custom marker usually means tinkering with GDL. You can start with the default object and tweak it to your needs. Optionally, browse the depository and see if any of the markers there suit you.

Sigitas,

Did you get the GDL object you wanted? If not, I can make one and post it on my website that has GDL's for sale at gdl.qwsoftdraw.com.

Let me know if you still need it made.

If your intention is to post a FREE object, then this post is allowed. If not, this belongs in the ad section or a PM.

Thanks,

I still not found a way how to get or create necessary symbol in dimension tools. I'm looking how a can to increase level dimension tools that will be possible to put a new symbol.
ofcourse it is'nt a big issue, but will be useful in design documentation work. by our country standard we must to mark referent level with symbol presented in picture.

Does this object do what you want? It reads the distance to the origin and uses the format of the level dimension. You can set the pen in Floor Plan and Section.
If you need any adjustments, let me know I will be happy to modify it.

BTW: We have not picked a free GDL object for this month. Send in your request. http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=29941

Hi Master Script
It works good. Could be good that will be possible to change the Marker size and to put additional text before the dimension number. (expl. FF 0,00)
the question is, did possible jus to put this market to standard dimension tools?

Any way it is very good gdl. Thank a lot of.

-Text before the dimension is no problem.
-How do you want the markers scaled? relative to the text height or via the regular dimensions?
-Does the arrow head always scale with the marker or is it a fixed size (or relative to the active scale (1:100/1:50)

the marker and arrow size could be relative to the text height. usually we use font from 1,5 to 3

I am using a developer tool, which can be downloaded from the website of Graphisoft: http://www.graphisoft.com/support/developer/

But if you want to know what GDL code I use, just ask what you are looking for and I will be happy to answer. I also create Free custom GDL objects each month. Look at my post http://archicad-talk.graphisoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=29941&highlight= to do a request.
