Dimension Color

(OP)
When I dimension a part the dimension is grey in color. For presentation purposes I will need these dimensions to be black in color. Is there a way to accomplish this? Thanks in advance

RE: Dimension Color

Go to Tools > Options > System Options > Colors --- Color Scheme Settings --- Dimensions, Non-Imported (Driven) and change the assigned colour.

Change "Dimensions, Non Imported (Driving)" to Black.

RE: Dimension Color

Dman5,

I am going to guess that these dimensions are on a drawing and you are manually adding them as if you were coming from ACAD.  If so then you might want to consider using Insert -> Model Items.  This is a HUGE time saver in more ways than one.
