Use the DimStyle command to set the different dimension variables.  If you are dimensioning in a layout then you should be using a scale of 1:1.  Only your viewports are assigned a scale.

I thought you were working in a layout.  Why are you asking about setting a scale?

Check you DimStyle > Modify > Primary Units tab.  There is a Scale Factor option there.
 
And on the Fit tab there is a scaling option where it says Scale for dimension features > Use overall scale of.

U can get solution by on/off the Supress trailling zeros in Primary Units tab. Work on that & come back.

AKA: the DIMZIN variable.
