What you can do is you can place the View as a Drawing on a Layout, and then you can resize that Drawing on the Layouts, and it will then resize the text as well.

If your text point size is correct (6.5 pts as a minimum) then Lazlo's answer will "fix" your problem but when you print then your texts will be 1/4 the size which will make them unreadable. This is not the correct procedure for architectural drawings.
The correct way is to have 2 dimension and text layers sets one for 1/16" and 1/4" and you always dimension the smallest scale drawing first.

In the Marker panel of the Section/Elevation Settings Dialog you define the Marker Head size in millimeters so you are specifying paper size, not model size.

Hi, Eduardo Rolon. It is 7 years past and I have the same question(ISSUE). In addition, I reject to accept these 2 answers. They are not what the BIM system supposed to be. Duplicate dimensions- can not be a good solution maybe only if you have small drawings. But with a large project, you will be lost in such details. Another solution advised to scale the view is also not appropriate for architectural drawing vision (Sorry, BUT proportions matter!). Is it any other solution? Thanks 😃

If these solutions are not acceptable to you then you should make a wish, and we can submit it to Graphisoft for consideration.
If you do make a wish, please post its link in this thread.

AFAIK no. Ive have been proposing a new dimension tool that would solve these kind of things. A tool that dimensions what it sees based on certain criteria and rules and is scale dependent instead of you clicking on objects. You still have to place the tool in its proper place (like section markers), but once is done you could change/edit/erase/add to the model however you want and you will always be presented with a stable dimension string. Its like a combination of the automatic dimensioning (which works well in some cases) and the section tool.
Anyway, hope they solve this one eay
