Neither dimensions nor mtext are "inserted" so that confused me.
They are both "added" with their respective commands. Only
blocks are "inserted" as far as I know.
In order for mtext to be annotative, the current text style must be
annotative and the current text size must be set in paper units.
Current implementations of toolbars, tool palettes, and menus
don't do a good job setting up these conditions automatically.
Templates do.
Before adding annotative mtext, use the style command to set
annotative style current and use textsize to set a paper text
height you want. Then start the mtext command and proceed.
The resulting mtext will be annotative and the correct size.

I am not sure if we are talking about the same, thing I am not using blocks.
What I would like is for inserting Mtext to be like inserting dimensions.
whenever you insert a dim, it comes in at the correct scale.
