Welcome to our Customization documentation section.

 

As you customize your installation, we ask you to appreciate one simple piece of advice we’ve learned from doing what we do for more than a decade: Please consider what a standard is – as well as why it exists – and use this opportunity to update and improve upon your standards. Many offices make the mistake of not realizing that some of their standards are in place not because they are ideal, but because they were the only way the designers could get drawings done at the time. Rather than insisting that our software simply enforce your current standards, please consider using it to establish the standards you've always wanted.

 

Are you new to Land F/X? Or do you have a new employee who needs to be immersed in the software ASAP? See our Land F/X Beginner Webinar Series.

 

Did you know that many of the Land F/X tools are designed to directly replace or improve upon specific native AutoCAD tools? More information

Customize General Office Standards (Admin)

In this section, we show you how to configure all the settings that affect your design work as a whole. In fact, all of our software modules (Site & Hardscape, Planting, Irrigation, and Details) are closely interrelated with your general office standards. For example, customizing your text styles will affect the appearance of all callouts you place – from plant labels to site, irrigation, and detail callouts. 

 

 

Customize Your Text Styles:

Our Text Styles system automates your selection of fonts and point sizes for all text you place in your drawings. Text Styles are highly customizable, allowing you to tailor each one to your office standards.

  • Our system of Text Styles: We've assigned specific Text Styles to different functions of our software (such as the text in your labels or schedules). You can customize the following styles:
    • Callout Light: Text associated with detail callouts, Reference Notes (RefNotes), RefNote callouts, and irrigation equipment symbols.
    • Callout Text: Text associated with detail callouts, Reference Notes (RefNotes), and RefNote callouts.
    • Callout Title: Detail numbers within detail callouts, as well as RefNote codes within RefNote callouts.
    • Concept Schedule: Text within the Concept Plant Schedule (not the schedule title).
    • Detail Text: Text that appears within details.
    • Dimension Text: Text that appears within dimensions.
    • Lateral Size: Lateral size labels.
    • Mainline Size: Mainline size labels.
    • Photo Label: Text within Photo Callouts.
    • Plant Label: Text within plant labels.
    • Schedule Text: Text (not schedule titles) within most schedules, including all site schedules (including the RefNote Schedule), planting schedules, Irrigation schedules and reports, as well as the Critical Analysis.
    • Schedule Title: The titles of all schedules.
    • Zone: Zoning callouts.
  • Customize our default Text Styles (Fonts): Use these steps on any of the Text Styles listed above to dial in your fonts, point sizes, and more.
  • Create your own custom Text Styles and add them to our system.
  • Reload all Text Styles (REAT): Changed your Text Style standards? Use this tool to apply them instantly to your current drawing.
