How to change drawing dimension font size?

Good day Gents

I have a drawing of a sheet metal part with a lot of cut out details, and I want to use baseline dimensioning. However, the font size of the dimensions are way too big and take up most of the space on the sheet. I have tried to resize the text in the dimension style editor, but it doesn't take affect at all. Though I did get it to resize the font under note text, unfortunately this changed all the text sizes in the drawing, including notes, parts lists, and the title block, which is undesirable.

Any clue how to only change the dimension text size on a drawing?

What you need to do is create a new font style.

Add the new font to the dimension style and then only your dimensions will be affected. 

This is where you attach your text. Click on the dimensions style you are using in the left menu and then add it here:
