Mutilple scales

I draw everything full scale in model space. My first layout scale is 1 = 100 and everything (dim, text, lines) is scaled for the 1 to 100. Now, I need my second layout to be 1 = 20. Is there any way to scale the dim, lines, text size ... to the scale of the tab?

Starting in 2008. Now I'm afraid you'll have to copy them in to a new layer
and adjust them there.

You could try setting your linetypes to work at a 1 scale and turn on
PSLTSCALE in the viweports.

I use a little work-around when I need to do this. If you want the text to
be the same size as the 1"=100, you need a viewport that is set up 1"=100.

Then I change my Paperspace border (& all the text in P-Space) to reflect an
appropriate change. This requires a little arithmetic. Then you plot to
something other than 1=1, something like 1= 5 or 1" = .20.

You do the math.

Obviously you have to set your viewport scale to

Scratch that previous post.
I thought this was a Civil3D question.

I would suggest annotating in PS.
setup a dimstyle to scale to the VP scale

And your woes will be over.

That is, by the way, how Sheet Manager does it.

I'm fairly sure you meant the Civil Design Sheet Manager, right Joe?

And not the Sheet Set Manager?

I think you meant KOWA?

Otherwise I'm not sure what KOA stands for Mr. Bouza?
