When setting dimensions properties you have to consider the scale intended to be printed. Even if you don't want to print it is important for the layout, one expects the relations of textsize etc to objects and paper or screen size as one is used to from traditional plans. So if you want a drawing in 1:100 you have to set text size etc 100 times larger than you want to see it on the plan. As I am continental european I have no understanding about imperials and their scaling standards, but I have tried to make two templates you might try out. If they are not right they still may lead you in the right direction. Perhaps your architect will be so kind to make you a proper template.
