Dimention Colors

(OP)
When I add a dimention to a drawning, that wasn't used to create the part it turn out to be grey.  It is also grey when I print it.  How can I set it to be black like other dimentions?  I did figure out how to get rid of the parentheses, butthat was easy.  I have looked every where for this option with no luck, and I'm sure it's probably in front of me.

RE: Dimention Colors

Print Black and White, not Color is the easiest solution.

or

Tools - Options - Colors - Imported Annotations (Driven) and change color.  I advise against this option, this is the way you can identify Driven Dimensions, if you change it you will be unable to tell by glancing at the drawing or model.

I am away from my SW computer right now, but I will look into other alternatives.

RE: Dimention Colors

Nice one Scott, I was unaware that was an option for changing Dimension Color on a drawing.  I will have to stick that one in my tips sheet for our users.
