How to set scale in autocad viewport

Dimension scale affects the size of the dimension geometry relative to the objects in the drawing.

How to scale an object in autocad with reference

Dimension scale affects sizes, such as text height and arrowhead size, and offsets, such as the extension line origin offset.

You should set these sizes and offsets to values that represent their actual size on paper. Dimension scale does not apply the overall scale factor to tolerances or measured lengths, coordinates, or angles.

Note: You can use annotative scaling to control the overall scale of dimensions displayed in layout viewports. When you create annotative dimensions, they are scaled based on the current annotation scale setting and automatically displayed at the correct size.

  To create dimensions that are scaled correctly for printing or plotting, set the DIMSCALE system
