Thanks. Your response was the answer. I did not have a setting for the layer, so I worked with the pen width.  The drawing has 8 dimensions  - only the 3 new ones I added were the problem. However, I'll have to work with that more.

It feels like there is some memory problem with what I am doing. I tried to change each of the 3 dimensions - one at a time. At some point it suddenly changed all 8 dimensions back to a smaller dimension at once!  I was previewing the results as I went along, so I had to reopen the file with each change.  And I was unable to use your procedure to change an original, dimension back to being correct. I was never working with the 5 original dimensions which were all changed at once. There never was a Layer setting.  It just seemed like a memory problem after a few original changes.

I'll start fresh and try to do the changes 1 at a time.
