Changing Scale

[Compass Rose]

Here is my problem. When doing a sketch, drawing an exterior wall, I go off the page it automatically changes the scale. When I change it back, the dimensions that were placed after the scale changed are tiny and not readable, but the original ones are fine. Does anyone know how to fix this? I have been starting over.

Change the settings to not automatically re-scale the drawing. Just hit "C" to center the sketch or re-scale manually when you need to do so. To change the size of the dimensions after locking them down. Hit "Control D" and tab your way to the dimensions, select by hitting enter, + or - the size and enter to lock down. You can change the size of the dimensions before locking them by hitting + or - while drawing the walls.

Tim and others:

Is the default set to rescale automatically? I don't believe it's supposed to - it should be set to however you had your previous version configured to avoid confusion, especially with upgraders. If the latest release is going out that way, I need to get with our QA department and fix that.
