SOME OF MY MODELS, WHEN DIMENSIONING SKETCHES, SHOW THE FONT AT DIFFERENT SIZES, DEPENDENT ON HOW FAR I AM ZOOMED IN, AND SOME DONT. HOW DO I CHANGE THE ONES THAT DONT, SO THAT I CAN ZOOM ANYWHERE AND HAVE READABLE SKETCH DIMENSIONS WITHOUT HAVEING TO REZOOM IN OR OUT?

Got o TOOLS - OPTIONS - Document Properties - Annotations Display and check the box next to Always display text at the same size.

May I respectfully suggest something? Take the manuals home and spend a few evenings reading them from cover to cover. I know you won't remember everything, but when something comes up, a vague memory will remind you approximately where to look for an answer. It's what I have always done with CAD systems for the last 24 years or so. An added advantage to this is that you will be surprised at all the really useful things you learn. Particularly since you do it all in one sitting and will put different things together to make very useful tools for your unique applications.

Using the Help menu also works quite well, though granted it is sometimes tough to choose the same keyword they went for in the index with subjects like this one.

Here's another tip on locating info. Take your example. Text size behaves DIFFERENTLY. Probably a system or part file setting - look in Tools - Options for those kinds of things.
