Overridden Dimensions

You can choose to automatically change the color of overridden dimensions.

When you change the color of overridden dimensions, it changes the color of dimension text, arrows, and extension lines. This lets you identify the manually overridden dimensions.

You can:
  • Change the color of overridden dimensions automatically.

    To specify the color, click Tools > Options > System Options > Colors. Under Color scheme settings, edit the color for Drawings, Overridden dimensions.

    To display the color, click Tools > Options > Document Properties > Dimensions and select Highlight overridden dimensions in a different color.

  • Restore the overridden dimension values to their original values.

    Right-click the overridden dimension and select Restore Original Value.
