    It is possible now to set up a custom scale in Ai Beta 28.4.0.2.

    In Dimension Tool Options dialog open the Scale dropdown and choose custom to get the Custom Scale dialog.

    It works for decimal scales only, like 1:12 or 1:15, but not for Imperial scales like 1/16"

    Please try it and comment back.

    I also found the preset ratio thing quite limiting. For instance, I would love a 72:1 as I work in points, but really want inches. A house fits neatly onto a 8X11 page at that scale.
