1.0000Initial value:
Sets the overall scale factor applied to dimensioning variables that specify
sizes, distances, or offsets.
Also affects the leader objects with the LEADER command.
Use
MLEADERSCALE to scale multileader objects created with the MLEADER
command.
A reasonable default value is computed based on the
scaling between the current model space viewport and
0.0
paper space. If you are in paper space or model space and
not using the paper space feature, the scale factor is 1.0.
A scale factor is computed that leads text sizes, arrowhead
sizes, and other scaled distances to plot at their face values.

DIMSCALE does not affect measured lengths, coordinates, or angles.
Use DIMSCALE to control the overall scale of dimensions. However, if the
current dimension style is , DIMSCALE is automatically set to zero and the
dimension scale is controlled by the
CANNOSCALE system variable. DIMSCALE
cannot be set to a non-zero value when using annotative dimensions.
