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

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.
