Hi all.

Lately, dimentions have been appearing in red, not the usual color. Ive already tired all the color options in the doc properties...in fact all my dimentions are any color but red...to no avail.

This just started happening recemtally.....

RE: Red dimentions

Check the color for your dimensions in the System Options tab instead of the Document tab.

Thanks Theo - -
I found out the problem...the drawing was in layers...I had to bring the Layer toobar and the line format toolbar up - changed stuff in the line format toolbar in conjunction w/Layer toobar. There you can change those colors depending on what layer yer on.



Is it 5 o'clock yet???

RE: Red dimentions

Theeox,
FYI, I set my dimensions,dangling (under the colors options) to the color "red" instead of the SW default "dark tan". This really stands out on a drawing when dimensions and annotations have broken links that need to be cleaned up.

Food for thought......
