Dimension text darkness

Dimension text darkness

Dimension text darkness

(OP)
It seems as though, sometime in the past couple months, that my dimension text has gone "gray" on me. I'm certain it used to be darker. Now when a drawing is printed out, it comes out light and doesn't fax well at all. Sometimes the original drawing is hard to read as well. Odd thing is that the note text, which is the same size, font, etc. looks fine, it's only the dimensions that are light.

I've tried adjusting the font, making it bold, changing the layer, changing the color of the layer the dimension text is on... I can't seem to make it darker (i.e. black!). I'm using SW 2006.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Check TOOLS/OPTIONS/SYSTEM OPTIONS/COLORS/scroll to dimensions.
