I need to find a workaround to save myself a ton of time and effort.
I'm working on a concrete building. We have General Arrangement Plans shown at 1/8" scale and Framing Plans showing slab reinforcement at 1/4" scale. Currently I have two parts for the framing plans.
The powers that be are requesting I show an overall Framing Plan (also at 1/8" scale) which will give an overall picture of my slab reinforcement (which is drawn as detail lines).
I've been requested just to "viewport the drawing at 1/8" and show the lines and text for the rebar at half the size they would normally be shown at 1/4" scale.
When I answer that this can't be done, I get the reply "That is impossible". Anyone out there know a way to prove me wrong?
Thanks

you can either change your project lineweight settings for 1/4" scale and 1/8" scale. if that isnt an option create an view template for your 1/8" scale plan and set the rebar to be half the line weight.
this is a very simple task

My problem is not the lines, it's the text associated with the lines. I would just make a detail group of the lines and text (so I only have to change it once) and paste the detail group onto the different scale drawing. If you've ever changed the scale of a drawing before, you know text gets very messy.

What happens when I have to make a change? I have to change it in two places?

Here is an option - not good but an option.
- Duplicate your view as dependent.
- Create a new sheet border at twice the normal size scaling everything up.
- Place the dependent view on this sheet
- Print this sheet at 50%

That's something I've considered. It's the only thing I've come up with so far. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Can't scale it... you have to create it 2X. Sorry, most family elements are not scalable but I think the linework is.
