Layer Color

2013 LT for Mac

 

Hey Gang, I'm new at Cad and enjoying it immensely. Question help plz. When using linear dimension the line color is based on the active layer. Is there any way to default dimension to red when I dimension an object .. without having to choose that layer or move to layer? Please forgive my potential stupid questions..

 

I hope this is the correct forum!

JD

Hi JD,

 

If you need all dimension elements in red regardless of the Layer color, then you can create new dimension style (or edit current) via menu Format -> Dimension Style, in Dim Style manager:

then change colors of the elements you need to be red:
