X9 noob, having some drawing issues

[grimm]

In the process of upgrading to X9 and running into these a lot.  

 

Whenever I xform, offset, move anything it blanks the original entity instead of deleting it.  It doesn't do it with copy, only move.

I've been playing with X9 for about a month now and I don't remember it doing this before so I think I inadvertently turned something on without realizing it, but now I can't figure out how to turn it off. 

 

When dimensioning, while dragging my current dimension around, if I click another existing dimension my new dimension automatically takes the properties of the old one (color, orientation, font, etc.).

Is there a way to turn this off?  I often put one dimension on top of another in different colors to check drawings or when I reorient things.

 

If I mirror dimensions, is there a way to force the text to stay in the same orientation so it's not upside down and backwards in the result?

 

I can't find the option to "select only" or "select all" in the keymapping to make a hotkey for them.  I figured out a way to kind of cheat by assigning QM Color to a hotkey and then when the box pops up I can change it from color to level or entities whatever I need to, but that only works for "All".  Is there a way to make one for "Only"?

 

Thanks ahead of time for any help you guys can give.  It's much appreciated.

The XForm/Offset Issue was corrected with the X9 Update 1 Patch.
