    How do I get rid of it? I can't find the option.

    Any help appreciated!

    Why do Solidworks do this tacky shit anyway.

    Go To TOOLS > OPTIONS > COLORS and TOGGLE ON the USE SPECIFIED COLOR FOR
    DRAWING PAPER COLOR towards the bottom of the dialog.
    They're called "ENHANCEMENTS" and for the same reason they add all the
    other tacky bullshit. Then they don't have to focus on all the bugs they
    should be fixing instead.

    Ah thanks very much!

    I haven' t created a drawing in Solidworks for over 3 years and now
    cant remember how to change the size/font of the dimension number.

    Where's the option for this? (I found the options for changing the
    arrowhead size etc)

    With the drawing open it's going to be under TOOLS > OPTIONS > DOCUMENT
    PROPERTIES then under DETAILING choose ANNOTATION FONT and that will
    list all the different types of annotations you can choose. Then pick
    one of them and change the size/font
