dimension/dimension lines not dark

[dlevy]

I create a drawing. My dimensions, dimension lines, and arrows are dark.

Another person at work creates a drawing. He uses the same dimension
properties. His dimensions are not as dark as mine even when I open his
drawing at my computer.

I've searched and searched for an option that is different. I can't find
anything.

Suggestions?

Are you importing feature dimensions or are you "hand" dimensioning
the drawing.

By default, SW has these two types of dimensions coloured differently
to allow one to know the difference.
There is a colour setting that you can change so that both are the
same "dark" colour.

I use the Layer tool and create a Dim layer, then you can set it to
any color you like. For contrast I use a dark blue which helps where
extension lines overlay object lines. When applying the dimensions,
make sure the Dim layer is celected. It can also apply the layer color
to center lines, and center marks.
