'measurements' and 'monitors' are the same thing (in the future that may change, but for now they are the same). Therefore, you have the same problem than Hens does -- 2 minutes later -- STOP! HOLD IT! It seems that my explanation to Hens was incorrect. Maybe I already fixed this problem ... or maybe it fixed itself. In the v10pre16b build that I am currently running, I can say color monitor red monitor 1 100 And it will do the right thing. So, Hens, please try again and tell me if something is failing for you. Now, Craig, coloring the measures works the same way, because they are the same as 'monitor' color measure blue /* interactively make a measurement */ And the measurement is blue -- 30 seconds later -- But, on reviewing your question I see that you are probably asking something else. There currently is no way to control the 'pink' line that is used while the measurement itself is being made. I will see if I can do somethign about that. Q: Do you agree that it is a good idea to keep it a different color from the measurements themselves? Q: What word would you use to describe this 'tape-measure' during the measuring process? (The CAD people probably have a term for it) Miguel ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IT Product Guide on ITManagersJournal Use IT products in your business?
