Autocad dimension scale problem

When I do a QuickCalc to measure the length of the line, I get a result of 1. Now let’s say I draw a straight line with a length of 1.

I am currently working on an existing 2D drawing directly in the model space, and the scale factor in the title block says 6:1 (the paper dimensions are supposed to be 6 times the actual dimensions). I’ll try to explain what’s happening with a specific example.

Unfortunately my current problem involves working with existing drawings whose creator may not have followed this convention. Okay, so I know that drawings should always be drawn at a 1:1 scale, and that it’s only when a drawing has to be printed that you actually change the size of objects.
