Can there be a site plan default initially set to a scale 1:500, Course view that can be used on multiple sheets?
Yo can create dependant views of that site plan, one per each sheet, or detail items family/legend that work as key plan.
For an M&E consultancy, creating a view 'per sheet' is far too laborious! we use a detail item at present but its not 'LIVE', and we all know that clients change their minds from time to time!
