I recently has some symbols in drawings change. Some are missing.

Then I noticed that the Dimension Text Symbol Pallet has changed.

Did I accidently delete something or redirect something to make this change?

I checked this post and a couple of others without finding a solution:

From an older drawing:

If I do a "Save As" from one drawing to another, the pallet remains as the old one.

A start part from 2021 results in the new pallet (though this issue is very recent).

Dimension that already exits on a previous drawing stay with the old pallet.

New dimension created on a "Save As" drawing have the new pallet.

Between Creo 7 and Creo 13 there are a lot more symbols to pick from. I would hope that they would keep the same names/designations for each symbol going forward, but the order is jumbled in 13 compared to 7, making me think the answer is no.

There is always more to learn.

I added one from the pallet and got an additional "square" - blank text.

If I type anything in the Dimension Text box (e.g. REF, 4X, ...) the typed text appears as desired.

Anything selected from the Symbols box shows in the Dimension Text box, but shows up as the blank box on the drawing with one exception so far - the degree symbol...
