Dimension lines in white, not black

Hi,

I posted this as a question on Friday’s (4/29/2022) webinar. My dimension lines in this model show up in white, but the rest of my models they’re black.

Feel like I’m missing something pretty basic, but I can’t find anywhere to change it.

Thanks in advance, shout out to the iPad team, it’s awesome!

Yup. Color by Tag. @dezmo for the win!

Thank you! As (fairly) new user I had no idea that was there or how I could turned that on to begin with.

Thanks again for the quick response.

The default color of white for untagged strikes me as pretty useless unless you use a dark background. I usually change it to something else.

Couldn’t agree more @slbaumgartner , in fact I don’t see why guides should change colour at all when using color by tag as it effectively renders them useless when used within a tag. They take on the same color as the geometry and become invisible.

Furthermore, with edges, their default behavior (all colored the same) overrides color by tag. Why don’t dimensions and guides behave the same way?
