You can use XRef and insert the source drawing into a new drawing and set the scale for the XRef to the value you need.
Besides of that ... I would never want to have any geometry in the modelspace that shows dimension values that are not true/show values different from the measured distance/angles.

Hi Moise,
As Alfred mentioned I am also not recommending you to do such a thing unless it is something that's unavoidable for some reason.

Are you scaling the because the drawing units are incorrect? If so, use the -DWGUNITS command to change to the correct units. AutoCAD can change the drawing units without changing the drawing elements; watch the command prompts for whether to scale the drawing elements or not.

To Scale without changing the dimensions of your drawing, follow these steps:
Step1 : Select the objects that you want to scale.
Step2 : Select the Scale tool from modify toolbar or Type “scale” in the command line and press Enter.
Step3 : Specify a base point for the scaling operation.
Step4 : Enter the scale factor that you want to use. Press Enter to complete the scaling operation.
Step5 : Go to Annotation –> Dimension Style Manager –> New –> Give New Style Name (Scale2)–> Click “Continue” –> Primary Units –> Enter Scale Factor value –> Click “OK” –> Click “Close”.
(Note: Scale factor Value = 1/Scale )
Step6 : Now Select all the dimensions –> Go to Annotation –> Select new Created Style (Scale2).
You can see all the dimensions are now at original scale.
