Edwin: The OP solved his problem. And "no" he is not working with a metric drawing.

Are you working with metric drawings? Did you choose ISO or other metric template when you start?

You must have been an English teacher in a previous life.
Yes, it was a typo. It should have read...WHERE exactly are you located? What city/state do you live in?

I'd continue to post to the AutoCAD forum.
This forum is fairly limited in terms of forums to post to.
Where exactly are you located?

I’ll be sure to
avoid the Robitussin next time I login.
Here’s my next
dummy question:
When I have general
tech questions, what’s the link for the right forum to post them in?
I haven’t
messed with ACad in 6 years and I’m real foggy but now I need it for some
personal stuff.
(Memory deficit
disorder) I’m going to need a lot of help to get up and running again.
Thanks

Sure. I'm like a cold that never really goes away. I just keep hanging on. Ha, ha, ha.
See, you're much smarter than you give yourself credit for. Happy to hear you got it solved.

Thanks for your
reply.
Between the
time I posted this and got your reply, I diddled around with it and fixed it. I’m
annoyed with myself that I don’t remember stuff and I get impatient and go to
the forums instead of just trying to figure it out myself.
I’m glad to
know you’ll are out there.

You might have to go into your Dimension Style and make some adjustments.
DimStyle is the command.

Don’t know how/where to post this.
Retired 6 years and forgot much. Too hard to find in help.
Sorry to be old and forgot so much. I used to know stuff
like this. My dimensions are way too big for DWG scale and I don’t remember how
to fix. I have a screen shot. Also version is old-2006. Can some one offer
quick fix?
