Dark red/Heavy dimensions...Why???

[samickguy15]

I created a drawing using show dimensions, and everything is fine, except that when I print, the show dims are heavy (thick) The other notes and stuff that I've put on the sheet are fine. Is there a config that changes this or what? Any help would be great.


Thanks,


Aaron

Ok, not really sure what happened, but I closed out of Pro-E entirely, got back into it and re-opened the said drawing. Now the former red dimensions are back to yellow and printed off just fine. WTF???

It sounds like your dimensions were highlighted (selected) when you pressed print. If this is the case, clicking in the background to de-select the dimensions will solve the problem.

When you first show dimensions in Pro/E, they come in dark red. That is to distinguish from dimensions that have been cleaned up and are now in yellow. You have to repaint or update the sheet to get them to turn yellow if you don't move them around. Pro/E automatically does this when you retreive a saved drawing, that is why they are correct now.
