2006 3.0 PDF dimension colors

2006 3.0 PDF dimension colors

2006 3.0 PDF dimension colors

(OP)
Whenever I used to save as PDF in 2006 2.0, the dimensions would be saved as black.  Now in 3.0, the dimensions on drawings use the "Non-imported, Driven" color, which is a dark gray.  The page setup drawing color is black and white.  

The only way I have found so far to overcome this is to either change the "Non-imported, Driven" color to black, or put the dimensions on a black color layer (remember AutoCAD?).  I would like to leave the driven dims a different color than black.  Have any of you found a better work-around?

RE: 2006 3.0 PDF dimension colors

We are having the same problem here. The VAR couldn't help. The problem may go back to the PDF module provided by SolidQuerks. The VAR said that SW has our files and is reviewing this problem.

SP2.1 changed the PDF tool and it is always Prints in Color now.

Thanks... I think I read somewhere that SW moved from Bluebeam PDF to Adobe PDF. I also changed the border colors to black because they started saving blue in PDF's.  At a previous employer, we used to print the dims in color.  For those who print in color, this may be a good "problem" to have, but we only print in black here.
