I am new to LandFX. My issue is more of a general question/frustration. When printing, our office keeps our dimensions text height at 1/8". I have attempted but have not been using the LandFX site dimensions because I can not figure out what to set the dimension size or scale to in the Modify Dimension Style box. I have read and reread the documentation on this many times and still seem to be missing something. I just no can get the LandFX dimension to work the way I would like.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.

The way dimensions work, everything in the Dimstyle dialog box is entered in Paperspace units. Then the overall Dimscale will apply the desired Viewport scaling.
Land F/X will create a dimstyle for each dimscale, for ease of control and inserting drawings into other drawings.
It sounds like the only piece of the puzzle you are missing is to create a Work Area, which you can then apply a Viewport scale to. Then Land F/X will automatically use the appropriate dimstyle for each desired scale.

Joseph,
In the Dimstyle dialog box, Text tab, is the Text height setting. That should be set to 0.125" for 1/8".

I may have misstated my issue. The LandFX dimensions typically get a scale associated with them for reasons unknown to me. This tends to be the issue.
We use a lot of different sized viewports and I have not had them work well as of yet. I just use the AutoCAD dimensions and size accordingly because the LandFX dimensions are not as easily manipulated and it is not as easy to switch from one dim style to another.
