1/8 and 1/4 scale drawings xrefed to one

I am trying to show a 1/4" electrical room with a 1/8" plan and xref them
into another drawing. The problem is that the devices, such as receptacles,
use annotation scaling. The size of the receptacles seems to depend on the
annotation scale of the drawing the devices are xrefed into rather than the
source drawing. I haven't found a solution to this problem yet.

Hi Scott -

If you want the devices to show up the same size you should be able to xref
the source drawing into the plot sheet twice. When you xref them in you can
give them different scales and get the devices to show up the same size.

Please let me know if I've misunderstood.
