Drawings - create dimensions in multiple colours

I'd like to be able to dimension my drawings using different colours. Is there some way to do this? I'm talking multiple colours in one sheet, one drawing... 

 

It's 2026 and still, basic features like these don't exist. Honestly it's been really hard justifying the cost while there are no updates that would actually be really helpful. Same as using TAB to change selection using tools...

 

Thanks

Hello @t.hybsky  Unfortunately, Fusion 360 drawings currently do not support per-dimension (multi-colour) coloring. Dimension and annotation colors can only be controlled globally at the drawing level, not individually. This feedback has been captured and noted for future consideration.

I know, that it can be controlled globally. I¨ve customized that myself. 

We do custom furniture, that is dimensioned exactly to customers rooms, nooks, stairs, all of that stuff.

But it gets confusing really quickly when i dimension both the room measurements with its features (windows, doors, outlets, HVACS etcs) and the furniture as well. So it would be really great if I could make the measurements of the room in say, black color, and the dimensions of the furniture in blue or other colors. I know that it isn't something that's used heavilly in engineering of parts. For us though it's something that basically all of our clients demand. As having those two separate is hard to discuss when looking into the drawings with clients.

We have the same need. When we do approval drawings, all critical field dims that require verification should be in red, but if course, since there is no option for that, I have to add spaces to the dimension so I can put V.I.F. in red lettering behind it.

Yes, that is also tedious and very time consuming. I'm surprised there isn't more users looking for this feature.
