i read through numerous post resembling what i was looking for but have not come up with a working answer.

pretty simple actually. i have a drawing with multiple sheets. looking at the first sheet, i changed the layer color from blue to black. under tools\options\colors it is also already set to black.

dimensions/annotations on the first sheet updated to black. none of the other sheets updated. AND if i insert a new dimension, it is black. so why are all my existing dimensions still blue?
