You can use Isolate Changed Dimensions even if the Use specified color for changed drawing dimensions on open option is cleared. Isolate Changed Dimensions allows you to view changed dimensions on demand rather than automatically when you open the drawing, giving you the flexibility to see the changed dimensions only when you want to see them.
