how to control text size and hash mark size in display?

[Lighthouse]

I'm working on some very close in details, trying to dimension to 1/64".  I have my full size dimension default set to 1/16 for text and 1/32 for arrow.  But when I measure something, the screen display of the hash mark on the dimension is more like 1/2", and kind of covers what I'm trying to see.  Is there some way to control the display size of dimensions besides editing the dimension defaults?

 

thanks

Are you referring to the hash (arrow) for the dimension string?  Change the default arrow size if that is what you are referring to.  But you need to give more info otherwise.

yes, the hash mark that determines the end points on a dimension.  I have made it 1/32 in the dimension default but it still appears on the screen as about 1/4", I can't seem to get it any smaller

You keep calling it a hash mark which is the type of "ARROW" that is selected for that dimension default. Arrows are not controlled by the text.  You need to change the "ARROW" size.

You might also want to change the Minimum Display Size for Dimensions in Preferences> Appearance.

That is normally set to 8 Pixels - I prefer 4 or 5
