How to change the color of dimension text?

Post by KoLoLoLo »

I can't find how to change the text color for the dimension function.
Can anyone advise?

I need instead of black, the text was blue like the lines in the screenshot below.

Hi,

To change the color of the text in the Distance Tool:
- click "Select Comments" in the Home-ribbon
- single-click the dimension line (to select it)
- right-mouse-click and click Properties to show the "Dimension Line Properties" pane
- double-click the dimension line so that the pop-up appears
- in the pop-up window: select the text
- in the "Text Properties" pane, change the "Fill Color" to red
- close the pop-up window and the properties pane

If you like to be the color "Red" as default for the text in your future dimension lines:
- single-click the dimension line that you have just changed
- right-mouse click and click Style Tools > Make Current Text Format Default"

Kind regards.

Willy

Sorry for the color, should be "Blue" instead of "Red" in your case.

Kind regards.
