    New to autosketch so bear with me.
    For the life of me I can't figure out how to scale a dwg.
    I have created a basic drawing sheet with a perimeter
    boundry, a place for company name, another for
    revisions, etc. I print on a 8 1/2 x 11 reg. paper.
    everything is fine untill try to make the scale equal
    1" to 1/4" (just like reg. old grid paper). the dwg.
    reduces in size and I can't figure out how to fix it.
    I basically need only a couple sizes of drawings,
    1"=10' and 1/4"=1'. Do I have to make two diff.
    drawing layouts with company name etc. or can I
    use the basic layout as a template and tell it which
    scale to use each time I copy the layout and rename
    it for a new dwg.

    thanks in advance
