&lt;td valign="top" align="right"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td valign="top" align="left" colspan="2"&gt;Normally all the extension lines in a dimension use the same extension line symbology as defined in your dimension style. However, by using the keyin: &lt;em&gt;change dimension symbology standard&lt;/em&gt; you can tell one extension line to ignore it&amp;#39;s symbology and to use that of the dimension line.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			The other keyin: &lt;em&gt;change dimension symbology alternate&lt;/em&gt; tells the selected extension line to revert back to it&amp;#39;s own symbology.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Note that this will only work on dimensions that have thier symbology attributes defined in the dimension style.&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			Try this:&lt;br /&gt;
			&lt;br /&gt;
			In the &lt;em&gt;Dimension Styles&lt;/em&gt; dialog, set the extension line symbology to red.&lt;br /&gt;
			Set the dimension line symbology to green.&lt;br /&gt;
			Place a dimension string, notice the colour of the extension lines.&lt;br /&gt;
			Keyin &lt;em&gt;change dimension symbology standard.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
			Select one of the extension lines.&lt;br /&gt;
			It will change to the same colour as the dimension line.&lt;br /&gt;
			Keyin &lt;em&gt;change dimension symbology alternate&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;
			Select the same extension line and watch it go back to it&amp;#39;s own colour.&lt;br /&gt;
