Topic: Dimension Text Style Fill Color

[Matersammichman]

Does anyone know of a way to set\change the Dimension Text Style Fill Color using VBA?

[Fatty]

Try this:

Code: [Select]

objDimension.TextColor=RGB(255,0,0)
or:
objDimension.TextColor=1

Thanks, but that's not it. It's my fault. Maybe I wasn't clear enough.
I'm trying to set the Dimension Text (Background) Fill Color, not the actual Text color.
I'm in 2005 ADT and trying to mask my dimension text.
I know I can do it the "regular" way via picking through the DimStyle command, but I want to code it in vba.

Are you looking to toggle it with a user pick or change all at the command line.
Just watching & learning

I'm actually looking to set it in a particular Dimension Style, but both of your options sound great too!

I was thinking the other day that I needed a something to toggle the background mask on and off for user selected text and dimension objects.  And I thought that I would do it in VLisp since this would be great second lesson/routine.  I know nothing of VBA also so I will sit back and watch.
