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!
