The section head is staying blue and I want it black (will show up white on inverted background).

Here's what I've tried:

1. Originally the section head family was blue.  I changed it to white in the family editor, saved as, removed it from the

    project file, then reloaded the updated family back into the project file, no good.

2. Checked and double checked all visibility settings and view templates.  The section line is white, the tail is white (used

    to be blue), but the head won't change.  It is worth noting that if I load the section tail family into the head spot, the tail

    turns blue!  So it's a setting somewhere!

3.  Gone to Manage/Additional Settings/Section Tags and tried duplicating and renaming and reloading the families.  Nope.

Please help!

Pretty sure it will stay blue until it is placed on a sheet.

Blue section heads/elevations/levels indicate that you can double click on that item to open that view. I don't think you have any control over that (it's part of the system), but I don't believe it affects plotting.
