The text height and other size settings for dimensions have to suit to the size of the drawn object, units and intended (printing) scale. So if it's a mechanical part in mm, let's say 250mm long and to be printed in 1:1, the preset values in options - current drawing preferences - dimensions might do it. But if it's a building, in meters, to be printed in scale 1:100, you will have to change these settings. With 'general scale' you can modify all the values (except 'fixed length'), so you don't have to change all the individual values for a different scale. Also ensure a paper size is set.
