Solidworks drawing - default dimension color
Solidworks drawing - default dimension color
(OP)
Hi,
When I create drawings for parts in solidworks, I get grey dimensions for some features and Black dimensions for few.
i want to have black color dimensions only. How to achive this.
I have tried the system options -> color already. Couldnt find that work.
Thanks
Mohan

RE: Solidworks drawing - default dimension color
I tried Tools-Options-color command. changed both driven & driving dimensions. It wont change the dimension color in drawing. What could be wrong?

I curiously checked what layer the grey ones were. To my surprise they were in "Dim"
I still have problem. My driven dimensions are still grey.
Cant figureout. I am unable to share an image to you all ( all the 3rd party image storing sites are blocked in my office)

The color of the driven dims can be adjusted at Tools pulldown>System Options tab>Colors> In the Color scheme settings window, select Dimensions, Non Imported (Driven) and then the Edit button.

He has already tried that read above. He has tried changing the colors to black, but they are still black and gray even after the color is changed.

It's just a process of elimination to find the right answers.
That one has burned more people then anything else beside having the "Large Assembly mode" icon depressed. That causes everything under view to be hidden... it's very confusing when little things like these start happening!
Good luck!
