If not all dimensions use the same size, some of them might have style overrides. These are custom, per dimension entity settings for the label size, arrow size, etc.

You can reset all style overrides as follows:

Select > Select All
Dimension > Remove Style Overrides

After that, you can adjust the sizes for all dimensions in the drawing under:

Edit > Drawing Preferences > Dimension > Dimension Settings
