sketch color linie dimmentions

Can you add a color selection for lines and dimension text in the sketch ?
Sometimes I have a problem distinguishing sketch lines from dimension lines.

Not in the sense you can select from a drop down(I wish you could) But you can change the environment which will have an impact on the colors used:

Use the screen icon at the bottom to select environments.

Yes i know it.

This is not necessarily what I meant.

However, then also the 3d view is changed. I do not like that.
It is necessary to switch again.

Changing the colors of the dimension lines would be useful.

A sketch sometimes needs more dimensions in one place than a normal technical drawing.
In the technical drawing (made e.g. in Autocad 2d) we have the option of making the detail separately from the whole.

In the sketch for object modeling in Fusion360 there is no such possibility and it cannot be drawn like this.

The complicated flat shape is very darkened by the dimensions.

I know you can turn them off.

I think that the choice of colors is a very cosmetic and small change that could be introduced in preferences in the special selection field.
