Dimension properties change

When I change the color of a dimension in the properties dialog box other properties change as well. I have attached a file. If the dimension color is changed it changes Tolerance and arrow size automatically. The tolerance changes to 1/8", and this gives me false measurements.

Plain Autocad doesn't do that, where did this file come from?

Hi,

Your dimension is updating to the current DDIM setting when you change the properties or move with grips.

I've never seen that behavior before . . . .

If you look in the properties window for the dimensions you'll see the precision is 1/8 and the arrow size is 0.08

Open DDIM and change the precision to 1/32 and the arrow size to 0.5 the dimension will not change when you change the color etc.
