Want to change dimension line and dimension text to different colors

[Anonymous]

Hello, 

I have tried to change the color of dimension line and dimension text to different colors. But it is giving the same color. 

I want to change the measured dimension line and dimension text to different colors. Kindly let me know how I can deal with this. 

Thanks in advance

Select the dimension >>> Edit type >> Duplicate >> Add the color name as a suffix to the new style and set the color

When placing the dimension, make sure you are selecting the right Dimension type from the drop down menu 

Create a new Dim Type

Make sure you select the newly created type when placing a dimension

Thank you @RDAOU for your information. I have tried with what you have shown here in the images. 

With due respect I just want to clear you my issue that I want to change dimension line color to cyan color and dimension text color to red. So kindly let me know how to do that.

Not possible  ... max you can achieve is something similar to the below (2 Dimension Types overlayed on top of each other

Yes thank you @RDAOU but it is the correct way to do that right ?

Anyway thanks for your information. In rare cases we can use this trick.

I do not know any other way to have a 2 color Dimension Type...

There is a possibility to create a line based detail item with a label that reads length ... ie: it would imitate tha Dimension but it is not actually one...this you can mix and add colors to it as you wish

@RDAOU Could you tell me how to do that ? I can give a try to this.

Sure, here is a sample family you can look into and customize. (Note: After placing it you need to align and lock its ends to the element you are dimensioning to in order for it to stretch along and update - Remember this is a line based detail item with a generic annotation)

@RDAOU Yes I will definitely try this. Thanks for sharing
