I am trying to work out how to draw 1970s hand drawn construction details which have been sent to me as unscaled PDFs. The details are drawn at different scales - e.g 1:1, 1:20, 1:5, 1:50 etc. I will include dimensions on each of the details, so i have tried grouping each sized detail on the same Design Layer and i have unchecked unified view.
I am using the Scale Objects tool to lock in the right scale and then adjusting the Layer Scale for appropriate sizing. However the drawing, text and PDFs in the other Design Layer's are then rescaling (the Layer Scale is staying the same, just the drawings, PDFs and text). I have been looking through the tutorials but i can't quite figure out what I'm doing incorrectly. The details are too difficult to draw without copying off the PDFs.
