Hi Michael,

Thanks for the explanation!

I know that changing the active style color allows to draw a dimension annotation with the before chosen color. But I am happy with the black color for most of the items placed on the screen, just the annotations should be easier readable by a higher contrast without changing the active color each time back and force.

But there is a solution I did not recognize before. You can set the
AnnotationColorMode=FixedColor
AnnotationFixedColor=255,255,0
in the moi.ini file and you get yellow annotations directly when drawing these. So this solution works for me.

Regarding small mesh angles, I had issues with the system performance some years ago. But with the actual performance of the today's workstations, I don't recognize delays anymore - everything is super fast and fluent in MoI ;o)
So it could be beneficial for some users to compute the mesh-angle number from the moi.ini-file instead of internally setting the number hard to 10 after starting MoI. Actually I always set the number to 1.0 each time I start MoI.

MoI is for me the most intuitive CAD model I know. Mentioning here my findings shall not create the impression of not being very happy with this masterpiece of software!!!!!

It won't reset it if you set this in moi.ini :

NoMeshAngleLimit=y

Hi Michael,

setting "NoMeshAngleLimit=y" works. Thanks for the hint!
