way to have multiple scales in a drawing is to change you dimscale. Example:
if you are using 1/8" scale, chances are your dimscale is at 1", if you need
to have a scale 1/4" change your dimscale to .5". every symbol or device
should come in half the size no matter what the scale is set to. I hope this
solves your problem!

was able to use multiple scale in a dwg. In order to do this I had to xref in
a second dwg. with the other scale. I thought that the dimscale would have
worked, it worked in previous releases, then again not much has stayed the
same in this release. Xrefing seperate dwg's should solve your problem
although it means creating an extra file that you shouldnt have to
have.

When xreffing in the second plan that is a
different scale, all the symbols take on the annotation scale of the drawing
being xreffed into. I have found two work arounds:
1. Xref in the floor plan and scale it up
twice. So if you are working with 1/8th scale and you want to add a 1/4"
room blowup, scale up the plan to be used as 1/4" and use 1/8" symbols,
annotations and viewports.
2. The second method is similar. Use
a separate drawing for the 1/4" scale blowup. This drawing should be set
up to be 1/4". When xreffing it into the 1/8" drawing, scale it up twice
and use an 1/8" viewport.
In my experiences, it is bad practice to scale
geometry that has been drawn true size. But this program gives no other
option.

You could lock the scale of the devices in the
second file to whatever scale it is, then they would come in at that size, but
you wouldn't be limiting your default device styles to one scale, a little
annoying yes, man I thought there was an option to keep devices from
auto-scaling when you change the drawing scale property. I guess I
just dreamed it up, cause I sure can't find it now. =/

Thanks John, I hadn't thought of
that.
Now if there were only an option to do this per
scale. Or maybe just a simple toggle to keep the device scale relative
to the scale used when the device was inserted.
