Hello,
I never understood the xp zoom ... On the other hand I know how much paper I need to print a 20m house on an A3 ....
So use properties viewport (Inspector)
Don't see Standart Scale, only Custom Scale.

On this example, a rectangle 1x1 (Model) view on the viewport of the Layout with a Custom Scale =10.
In Model 1x1 unité for NC, 1.00mx1.00m for me.

On Layout Custom Scale (10) is number of mm paper for printed object.
1/100 it's what ?: 1m(for me)/100 = 0.01m or 1cm but at the end 10mm because a printer use mm, no meter, no cm.

So, for 1/50 Custom Scale =20 (20mm for print 1m)
And for 1/200 Custom Scale = 0.005m > 5mm
And .......

Now, see image.
For a dimension in model no problem, but on Layout, she don't measure paper (Associative = no) but the object (Red dimension).
For a dimension on a layout with correct scale (Green dimension) change (Inspector - Primary units) :
- Dim scale linear = 0.1 for 1/100
0.05 for 1/20 etc...

Happy to serve you
