Just a quick reminder that you should never scale objects that are drawn to a true 1:1 in modelspace. I have recently come accross objects / xrefs that were scaled 2x bigger to achieve desired scale in papersapce.
The proper way to achieve a desired scale is to adjust the viewport scale in paperspace to the desired size (i.e. 1/4" = 1'-0" etc.). When objects that are drawn accurately (1:1) in modelspcace are scaled, larger or smaller, to achieve a desired plotted scale in paperspace, it can create havoc with the next drafter to work on the project. Even if you're the only drafter working on the drawings, over a period of time you can forget what you did with scaling of objects and create problems for yourself.
Proper viewport scaling and selecting the proper annotation scale for text and leaders will make life much easier for everyone.
Thank you.
