I had an assembly. When I redrew extruded cut in the assembly, the dimension changed to blue instead of pink. I would like to know the difference between blue and pink dimension. By the way guys, I have done my course on CATIA not Solidworks. Thank you.

You have to check your system options for colors, as someone might have changed the defaults.

Normally, blue dims are for extrusions and black are for sketch entities. I haven't seen pink dims.

Pink is the default color for a dimension that is in a Design table.

[blue]Blue[/blue] is the default color for a dimension that represent a feature (Cut, Boss, Revolve, etc..)

Thanks Scott, I don't get opprotunities to use Design Tables.
