Do you mean the Application SystemVariable "DIMSCALE" ?

Perhaps ...
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DataBase.get_Dimscale();
or
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Dimension.get_Dimscale();
or
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.BlockReference.get_ScaleFactors();

No
I've meant insertion units and i found it here so its OK

Application.DocumentManager.MdiActiveDocument.Database.Insunits

and its returns if the insertion scale are a millimeters or centimeters or something else

but i wonder why i don't have non of them (get_Dimscale(),get_ScaleFactors())

i can get that far

Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.DataBase.
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.Dimension.
Autodesk.AutoCAD.DatabaseServices.BlockReference.

Indeed. 

Kerry, are those custom extension methods.  That seems sensible enough for get_ScaleFactors() – to “blackbox” the Scale3d object.   A requirement for extension method get_Dimscale is not so obvious.

I believe those are just properties of the objects

Yes, DimScale and ScaleFactors are public propertys, with get/set accessors  ;
