Macro to change ordinate dimension colors

I recoreded a macro to change the ordinate dimension colors (nothing related to layers)

I am just trying to learn how the code works

Can someone please guide me and show me how this can be done?

Here is the recorded macro

Dim swApp As Object

Dim Part As Object

Dim boolstatus As Boolean

Dim longstatus As Long, longwarnings As Long

Sub main()

Set swApp = Application.SldWorks

myModelView.FrameState = swWindowState_e.swWindowMaximized

Part.SetLineColor 8388863

Part.SetLineColor 8388863

Part.SetLineColor 8388863

Part.ClearSelection2 True

End Sub


Will it be possible to have the option to select the complete horizontal ordinate dimensions at a time, than by sketch IDs (instead of 13 in this case) and one Part.SetLineColor?

Thanks,

JOHN
