Oh, Okay 
I agree that when drawing something very small, a fractional (point something) drawing scale would be the way to go.
Actually, DeltaCad will allow a maximum scale value of 1000 (manually entered). In my case, I can create and view a horizontal line that's a little over 1026' (feet) long, when the View scale=1 & the Drawing scale=1000. Of course one can always increase the View scale, to a maximum of 10 in this case, to 'see' much more. Quite handy when creating large landscape/building plans.
Obviously you would never want to print such a large drawing at 'Full Scale" unless you have a very large printer and/or lots of paper and gallons of ink.
On the low side, DeltaCad will allow a minimum Drawing scale of 0.01 and a minimum Viewing scale of 0.1
