Seeing it over the view or views of the part I wish to detail allows me to assign a scale for that particular drawing. To determine this optimal scale, I insert this representative drawing field. To ease the task of determining the scale of the drafting format, I created a block to represent the drawing field of the drafting format at 1/1 scale. So now when you add a dimension or ask for the distance, both are the same. One of my self-imposed rules is all items are drawn to scale - 1/1 - and any drawing that does not fit well on a drafting format is fit by adjusting the scale of the drafting format. In either I end up with needing a dimensioned fab drawing, which can be in a separate file or on a sheet in the assembly model. I still use Mechanical Desktop - and AME previous to that - for obvious and not so obvious reasons. Adjust the Prominence of Annotative Scale Representations.
