Dimscales and Dimstyles

Does anyone know if there is a global dimscale setting for all dimstyles in a drawing. I can't understand why not. There would not appear to be a reason why they would need to be differentscales for different styles. When I do a compare styles dimscale does not appear in the list.

Why have different dimension styles if you are only going to have 1 dimscale?
I use the different styles to identify the "scale" of the model space entities that I am working with i.e. Dimstyle "ARCH_16" is a 3/4"=1'-0" detail
Dimstyle "ARCH_04" is a 3"=1'-0" detail, etc.

Are you dimensioning in paperspace or
modelspace?? 

 

 



style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px">

The dimensioning is done in model space because of the paper space limitations. Our company standards are to dimension below 2'-0" with inches only. And then there are times when we have dual dimensions when the dimension is to short to fit above the line the alternate is placed below, for which we have a different style. And when we insert blocks or details from another drawing which has a different scale and dimstyle and explode it I have to individually change the dimscale.
