I have a layout with 2 different scaled viewports, one is 1/16" scale and the other is 1/4". When I plot the sheet(layout) both viewports are in the scale which was last access in model space. If I was in 1/4" scale in model space then go to Layout, both viewports will be in 1/4" scale, my plumbming fittings, text, annotation in the 1/16" scale viewport are set to 1/4".
And if I was in 1/16" scale in model space, the 1/4" scale viewport is set to 1/16".
If I was in 1" - 1": scale, then both viewports are 1" scale.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Setting my scales in paperspace or model space, either way, I can only have one scale on a sheet. This is only happening with plumbing symbols.

Correct me if I'm not following what you are seeing. You have two viewports that seem to take on the scale defined in model space? When you are working on the 1/4" model and then switch to layout both viewports are scaled as 1/4" and if you then switch the model scale to 1/16" both take that scale on as well?
I'm not sure if there is anything that would specifically force the viewports to match the model space setting. My first impression is that you might have a routine that switches the scaling of your viewports to match the model space. If this is the case you might be limited on what you can do to stop it.
One thing you might try is setting the scale to 1/4" and locking the 1/4" viewport then switch to 1/16" in model space to see if the 1/4" changes. If it doesn't then lock the 1/16" viewport so they are not getting switched out.
I would also suggest discussing this with your CAD Manager, maybe they might be aware of what is causing the issue.
My AutoCAD distributer has contacted Autodesk about the situation and was told that I would have to xref each drawing in. It is a known issue, but Autodesk will not be fixing it. This is when drawing in the Plumbing discipline.
Thank you for your help.
