Are you working in model space and then creating viewports in paper space? The viewport can be scaled to different plot scales. You can either dim in paperspace with the dimscale set to 1 or you can create separate dim styles and separate dim layers and freeze and thaw the dim layers for each viewport.

I assume your dimensions are in Model Space. Sounds like you need to make your dimensions annotative. This would solve your dimension scale problem.

Just create another viewport in paperspace and then scale it to whatever for your blow up detail
