    Post Set up drawing without scaling text to drawing scale

    I am trying to set up drawing prototypes with two different sets of styles, "L" styles for model space and "P" styles for paper space, because we set up our sheets at 1 to 1. Both files need to be loaded when the drawing is set up. However the "L" styles need to be scaled to the drawing scale and the "P" styles need to remain constant. Is there any way to do this with prototypes, or do I need to take a different approach?

    You coulde create a template file for each scale, but I don't see this as a good thing if the drawing scale somehow changes after starting the drawing.

    Origionaly I had the "P" styles already in my dwt file thinking that they would remain static.

    Why wouldn't the "P" styles remain static?

    I'm not quite sure... now that I checked a little deeper it seems that only some of my dwts have this problem. The other ones work exactly as they should. This is really bothering me. Could it be that some of them are set wrong? I dont recall doing anything different for any particular one...
