All,
OOPS! In desperation, I went searching through the options to see if
there was a resolution option in Draw. Didn't see one, but something
else caught my eye. A few weeks ago I changed the scale factor to try to
get more precision on the location of an image (ironically, in prep. for
this task). I had changed it to 1:10. Once changed back to 1:1, all
was fine. So I want to apologize for what is OE - operator error - and
hope you will forgive me for being such a dunce!
Dave,
