Common selection of "User defined dimension texts"

[Anonymous]

Good morning.
I have rather interesting question than a real problem. I wonder if it is somehow possible to choose all "dimension text blocs" (hope the term is right, I work with czech language version..) that have been changed from "automatic dimension value" to "user defined" (eg. from 3 598 to 3 600 ..we work in millimeters).
I know there is a possibility to return (or rewrite) all user defined dimensions to their automatic values. I don´t want to do that, sometimes is quite reasonable to change dimension text, I just want to have a view of what has been changed or eventually to gain control (for example to mark all those dimensions with red).
Could someone share their knowledge with me? Or just direct me to recent discussion, I have been lazy to go through all of them
Thank you, Tom

I don't remember whether it made tip-of-the-month or not, but many moons Alex made this -excellent- recommendation;

"When you change a dimension number from automatic to user-defined, always change the colour. In plot-maker it is easy to define the two pens to print the same colour, but this (colour-redefining) step gives you, the user, useful visual feedback whilst working."

If you are changing the dimension text it will only take 1/2 a second to change the colour too. This should be an office standard practice.

There is no Archicad way to achieve what you describe.

And if I get a file from someone, who didn´t colour changed text and I want just highlight it (if there is any)?
I could do "Revet all custom text.." (meanwhile I learned the english terminology ), then perform "Undo.." so many times that every affected dimension text is selected and then colour all these with Text tool.. But it has one BIG mistake, this process is UNDOABLE, so I can´t see/work with the values set by the "creator".
So is there any other possibility than asking the man to do it before he sends the file or performing these steps on copy of a project and then checking with original?

You could check them one by one!

Sorry - I thought I was going to have something more useful to say!
