I'm sure this is a simple operation that I am overlooking but I am trying to figure out how to change the color of the text when i am placing a dimension on my drawing. It am able to change the color of the lines and arrows to whatever color I want, but I cannot figure out how to make the text a different color. The problem arrises when I place a dimension line in an area that is black, and the default black dimension text does not show up so changing it to red or yellow or something other than black would be very helpful, but I cannot figure this out and cannot find it in the forums. Any help out there?
Thanks!

Re: Dimension Font Color Change
Hello caddyr2,
And thank you for your post and request.
I am sorry but after discussing this with our developers it turns out that not only this is not currently possible in our Viewer, but that we could not implement it in a future build either, as if this text has a different colour this will not be suported in our PDF Viewers (and is currently not supported by adobe). So we should count this as a limitation in the specification, and unfortunately you will need to think of another solution when measuring over black background - e.g. place a separate text box with your measurement written in it with the desired colour next to the measurement line and it's invisible black caption.
Best,
Stefan
