And describe in detail how you are making the Dimension.  Which command?  Are you picking two points or selecting an object?  Etc.

 

First guess:  You have a value other than 1 for the Measurement scale in the Dimension Style definition, here:

Second guess, if that is 1:  You have somehow set the DIMLFAC System Variable to something other than 1.  That would override the setting in the Dimension Style.

Looks more likely that’s a dimension style issue as @Kent1Cooper replied. But still waiting for you to share your dwg file where this problem occurs

So it's not that the measured value is wrong, but only that the sequence of text characters is reversed?  My previous Reply would not apply to that problem.  It must have something to do with the Dimension Style and/or the Text Style.  But in any scenario I can create, not only would the sequence of characters be reversed, but the characters themselves would also be backward:

which they are not in your image.  So a drawing in which this occurs would be needed to investigate.

The one possibility that comes to mind is that the Text Style uses a font in which characters are backwards, and is also set for backwards text so that the sequence is reversed, but the characters individually are then re-reversed to read right, though in their reversed sequence.

@ahmad_shaxawan ,

 

A similar post had the same issue and resolved it by changing the language setting:
