solidworks >> Layers:What if I want the dimension text in black but the leader in green?

My question is in regards to layers and dimensions. What do I need to do
in a drawing so that in SWorks 2005 (SP5.0), the dimension text is in
black, whereas the rest of it is in green? I have been setting the
dimensions to the layer "DIMS" which is green in colour, however I want
the text to be in black? Any solutions? As I have to convert to DWG, I
have been manually changin this in DWGEditor.

2. Text, Leader Lines, & Annotations Disappear when Rendering 

Hi everyone,

I am trying to Render a 3D solid model file in AutoCAD. I want to
render the solid model to a file, and then paste it in a Microsoft Word
, .Doc file, or whatever format may be best.

Whenever I render the file, all of my text, leader lines, and general
annotations dissapear. I have a spring made as a spline coil and it
dissapears too. I can create the spring as a solid model, and it will
show up fine when rendering. However, what can I do with the text and
leader lines so that they show up when rendering ? Can I make the text
and leader lines behave as solids so they show up when rendering ?

I'm doing this in AutoCAD 14 but I also have access to version 2002.

I also noticed that it's hard to export a shaded file as a bitmap or a
file that can be inserted into a word processor. You can export the
view "hidden" but I could not do it shaded. Is there anyway to export a
shaded file and insert it into a word processor ?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Chaps

When in sketcher, I sometime have difficulty if eg I want to create a
horizontal dimension between say 2 points NE / SW of each other - the

How can I force it to be horizontal?

8. count all dimension object on a given layer 

Hi, is there somebody out there who can tell me how I can count the number of 
dimension objects on a specific layer.
I'm using the following SW, AutoCAD 14, visual basic 6.0. the idea is that I 
create an executable which launches AutoCAD, counts the objects on the 
specific layer.
I do have the following (among other).

 Set sset = acadDoc.SelectionSets.Add("NEWSS")
 'set reference to selection set
 'sset.Select acSelectionSetAll
 'select the whole drawing
 entityCount = sset.Count

but entityCount always returns null

Thanks in advance.
