To solve this, Go to DIMSTYLE and select the dimension style you are currently using. Take a screen shots of the FIT as well as the PRIMARY UNITS tabs. Also, verify whether you are using W36" X H24" paper and your desired VP scale must be 1/4" =1'-0" and whether you print form modelspace or from a layout tab. Finally, whether you are applying your dims in modelspace or while in paperspace. All aforementioned paramaters are needed to address your issues.

I think I've got a handle on what's going on. We sometimes get drawings like this, due to the originator not understanding the combination of viewport scaling and annotation scaling. In our case it's also about meters in model space and millimeters in paper space; for you it may be (decimal?) feet in model space and inches in paper space.
Start with the title block. Typically this is at a scale of 1.0; if it isn't start checking with your supervisors before changing things. Also, paper space for imperial drawings is measured in inches regardless of model space units. That lets you set things like text height directly (e.g. 3/32") without buggering around with scale factors.
Once you've got the title block correctly scaled you can move on to the viewports. Set the scale as you noted, not just in the scale factor but the annotation scale as well. Don't forget, if model space is *not* in inches you'll need to accommodate the extra scale factor in both scale factors.
