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.
