Dimensions display in certain scale and hidding in others

I am changing the scale in a project I am working on and I need to place more dimensions than before. I would like to keep as less as possible my number of layers, so I wonder if I can define what linear dimensions display at a specific scale and which ones hidde. Is that possible?

Dimensions cannot be made to be scale-dependent. So, the usual way of solving this is to place dimensions for various scale to different Layer and use Layer Combinations to display only the dimensions you need.

Hence my proposed new dimension tool 😎    which would free us from at least 95% of the hassle
