dimensions in layouts
when doing the dimensions in layout mode it seems that if theres no snap to object the dimension becomes according to the paper size = too small. Not the the actual size of the object as in model space.
Is there a setting for dimensioning in layouts that accords the dimension with the scale of the viewport window, without snapping to the object?

There is no setting for this. What you want to do is actually a bad idea.
But here are some potential solutions:
1. Change the viewport scale of the viewport to 1:1 and scale the plot.
2. Only use non-associative dimensions and use a dim style with a specific DIMLFAC.
3. Put all your dimensions in model space.0 -
When you create a dimension entity by snapping to points in an inactive viewport, its "Dim scale linear" property is automatically set to the inverse of the scale of the viewport. If you then move it so that it is not associated with any points in the viewport, that property is not changed.
Alternatively, you could manually set the DimScaleLinear property after creating the dimension entity.
Or you could create a custom command that prompts the user to select a viewport and then creates a dimension entity with the appropriate DimScaleLinear.
