Known issue. I ran into this as well when trying to apply a "2X" prefix as a dim favorite. Sp1.0 is supposed to fix this. I am using EV sp1.0 and it does work again.
I see what you mean. I made it work, but its a pain.
Have your favorite loaded and ready to go..........and do not exit out of the dimension fuction at any time.
1) select the dimension function or icon
2) dimension your desire object.
3) change to your dim favorite (pull down)
4) redimension your object you desire again
Your dim favorite should now show with your new dimension.
