SW- Drawing Font Issue - Easy One for the Guru's out there

May 22, 2008 2 Replies

Hi,



How do I set the font for dimensions added manually in a drawing to the same "darkness" as an automatic dimension?



Example: Use automated dimensions to generate ordinate dimensions (or any other type) and dimensions come out fine (per dimension font). Go and change geometry and add a single hole. RMB to "Add ordinate" dimension and dimension new hole.



Problem: The new dimensions are "lighter" in colour than the original ones. Printing the SW drawing is no problem. However, when generating a PDF of the SW drawing the "shade" of the font is displayed in the PDF. I always used SW drawings so it hasn't been an issue. Must now use PDF's.



I need dimensions to be the same no matter how they were "created".



I remember changing this way back in 2000 or 2001. Can't for the life of me figure out how I did it.



Any suggestions?

Tools, options, colors, dimensions etc. You can set any type of dimension color here. I think that will take care of you.

Just create a new layer in Your template, call it dimension or something like that and keep the color black. Activate it whenever You insert dimensions.
