English translation:Reference Scale Model
Explanation:
A reference scale establishes ratios and sizes. For instance, a タイヤ寸度 is the tire size ratio, which describes the height of the tire from its total circumference. So the reference scale model establishes the size of a drawing.

Most dictionaries translate 寸度 as dimension. This would make the direct translation "Basic Dimensions Model" but in the case of a CAD model, I'd say its closer to a reference scale.

neutral  Madelharri: It's difficult to tell without further context, but in any case I would say scale reference model rather than reference scale model

General Dimensions Model (No. or xxxxx)


Explanation:
Perhaps these are two separate words.

Your original entry does have a space in between "寸度" and "モデル".

My entry did not post the way I entered it into the original dialog box.

It should be "General Dimensions" "Model (No. or xxxxx)"
