Good afternoon  
in the dimension settings in Model info, there is an option for changing the color and font of the dimensions. Can this be set to keep the changes we make so that we don’t need to go in and change for each file opened. Is there a place to make these settings default for the program ?

Open a blank model, make all the changes you want to all the settings, then use Save as Template.  
You can make it your default or make several and choose one as the default.

In case it’s not clear, any settings in Model Info (and Styles) that can be changed can be applied to your template.
