Note

These default settings only affect new Annotations, they won't affect any Annotations you've already drawn. If you want to change an existing Annotation, you just right-click it on the Image Window.

For "Dimension Lines", setting the color changes the color of the text label, not the line itself - Dimension Lines are always black.
