The dissipative particle dynamics simulations are performed in the $3D$ space at a range of chain lengths $N$. The scaling laws for the end-to-end distance and gyration radius are examined first and found to hold for $N\\geq 10$ yielding reasonably accurate value for the Flory exponent $\\nu$. Within the same interval of chain lengths, the asphericity, prolateness, size ratio and other shape characteristics of the chain are found to become independent of $N$.
