Hi Pandean,

Thank you for your quick reply. I looked deeper into the dimension style and see under Primary Units that I had a setting under scale factor of .25. Maybe that is the culprit! I may have been trying to modify the scale of the image of the string for different scale drawing outputs i.e. 1 1/2"=1' vs 1/4"=1'... possibly I had not used the dimension style yet?  ON your other question about text style... I will look... 

Thank you so much!
