How can I have differentiated parameters for dimension colors in sketches and in planes?

Colour of the driving dimensions
Colour of the dimensions driven

In sketching, the driven dimensions are set to Gray (as desired)
In drawing, I want all the default dimensions to be in Black.
But as in System Option, the piloted dimensions are set to Grey, so these piloted dimensions are in Grey on the plans
How can I have differentiated settings for dimension colors in sketches and planes?

Hello

 

I just did a test and indeed your piloted ribs are in grey. (never used this function but it will change :) )

Solution that I found is to create a layer with the color black, which you can simply call ribs, and when you import the ribs at the bottom you choose your layer. Once validated, your ribs turn black.

If necessary I put a screenshot.

Hello

You can go to the system options, color menu, and set it to your liking. You will find the color for the piloted dimensions.

For drawings you can also use different layers.

Kind regards

Hello

The layer is also the solution that Visiativ proposed following a ticket but the easiest I find is to put the color of the plan template in black by default, which we chose with Benoît (I'm one of his colleagues).

On the other hand, it's not very intuitive, in a drawing you have to go to "Line color" (in the "Line format" menu) without having selected anything, choose the black color without clicking on "Default".

It's true that I didn't use this possibility to put a color to the controlled dimensions either but I'm going to use it rather than putting parentheses manually to visualize this info.

Benoît, you can close the question ;-)

The main thing is to find a solution that suits you.

If you don't have to change your color regularly, this is a good, simple and effective method.

Remember that SW uses the last active color without selection.
