Can I change color of dimension at sketch in drawing mode?

When I select sheet color to black, I cannot see dimension at sketch in drawing.

Please see picture.

Hi, this should do what you want. Just make sure you edit the dimension style you wish to use.

The text is handled separately.

If you just want to apply it to a single dimension, select the dimension(s) and then change the dim style from the ribbon

Beg your pardon, yes you can, but it also changes the dimension colour in the modelling environment.

Yes, the above setting should do that in modelling AND drawing sketches.

Hi @ballnr .

This setting affects both the sketch in the model and the sketch in the drawing.

I'm not sure what your image is showing, but you need to click OK/Apply to apply the changes to dimension colour.

I'm not sure if this is a bug, but it's working for me on 2023.3

Is this what you are doing?

This is 2023.3

I also notice that the preview in your application options is updating, so it should also update in the drawing view after apply.

Hi @ballnr .

I'm sorry that I'm asking such thing but did you press red rectangle? Mayby you have two monitors and new window appears on the second monitor.

Also please try change dimension color in another Color Scheem.

Hi! The key step here is to change the style in Light theme, not other themes. On Inventor 2024, the drawing sketch has its own options to configure.

Many thanks!
