    DIMSCALE does not indicate the "scale" of a drawing. Using it for this
    reason works if the protocol has the plot scale set to be equal to the
    dimscale, and if everyone follows it all the time.
    Personally, when I plot at 1:48 my DIMSCALE is set to 1. When I work on a
    file that is to be plotted at various scales, which is almost all of the
    time, a single variable obviously cannot correlate.
