I'll have to give it a try.
How can one do a macro/alias that will turn on dimension suffix and change the suffix to "Alt-0146"?

What I have done in my default floor plan drawing, I turned on a suffix for my dimension on the dimension layer, entered the Alt-0146, then turned the suffix off.
The Alt-0146 stays with the dimension so I only have to turn the suffix on when I want it.
I'll do an Alt-I (match all) on that default dimension when I start work.
It's just I have not gone back and done that on all my other default files for elevations, and details.

I've uploaded a DCAL macro that solves the plus or minus dimension toggle work arounds.

Put this DIMSUF.dcx file in your 'Toolbox' folder.

After opening DIMSUF, simply select the dimension to either add or remove the plus or minus suffix.

Enjoy!
