Problem summary

• FTA / COLR OF DIMENSION VALUE NOT CHANGED IF
  FONT SIZE IS CHANGED.
  

Problem conclusion

• We can modify the color of the complete dimension with the
  Dimension\Properties\Graphic Tab page\color option.
  Also we can modify the color of the dimension text with
  Dimension\Properties\Font tab page\color option.
  In the scenario, When the user try to change the font
  size of the Dimension.1, It's text color is White.
  Now  the user goes to the graphic tab page to change the
  color of the Dimension(let say Green). When properties are
  on OK, the Dimension(Text + Line) color is changed to green and
  then the
  dimension text color is changed to white during the modification
  of the font size
  You can check the following scenario:
  1) Click "Dimension.3" in the tree by MB3,
  Select "Properties" in the context menu.
  The Properties" dialog box is displayed.
  2) Select "Font" tab.
  3) Change the Font Size. + change the color to Green.
  4) Select "Graphic" tab.
  5) Change the color to Blue.
  6) Click "OK" button.
  The Dimension color will be Blue but the
  dimension value color will be green.
  The Behavior is as per design and is  a normal behavior.
