    Man did I ever screw up.
    I made these components knowing and when I brought them into my drawing I wanted them scaled up x4. Now the problem is...the dimensions think they get to 4x themselves and the text stays at the made size which was made 1/4 of the intended finished size. I have a big dimension value and a little bitty text.

    The arrow text did the same thing, (stayed small) I made it 1/4 size for scaling and when I scaled the detail, It stayed small.

    This is the opposite of what I expect to happen.I need an explode Dimension tool. Does anyone have one?

    Life is too short to fight computers.

      Hank,

      Did you scale with the tape measure tool? AFAIK that does not scale imported geometry (for some funny reason) but maybe this was changed in SU6.

      (Maybe I just don't understand you at all 😒 )

        Actually, I used the Scale tool.
        The tape measure tool kept moving my assembly around the screen but there was no decipherable difference in the size.

        Edit: I thought there was a explode the dimension tool, so I could make it stay at its current value then after the change, it would still be the same numeric value.

          OK now I understand I think.
          How about going to (Window) > Model info > Dimensions and editing the font size there?
          Dimension and text label features are ruled model level and you cannot "scale" them...
