If I understand correctly.
What is usually done in architectural drawing is to make the scale of the drawing bigger, since the dimensions and texts are a fixed size then they will fit.
For example detail drawings in feet and inches are drawn at 1/2"=1'-0" up to 3"=1'-0" and sometimes (have not seen any recently) 3" = 1". I have no idea as to the standard equivalents in MM are but they should be easier to figure out.
TO change the scale look at the bottom of the drawing window and it should be there.

It's a little storage [strange] how it works - the scale doesn't actually change in plan or on a layout.
