Drawing Scale

[Llian]

Not sure how to approach this....
I've been working on my worksheets [project map] at scale 1/2". Both project and project map are set to the same scale. They are neatly layout out in the 24x36 layout sheet. Now, my client wants some of these drawings to be in letter-size layout sheet.
I see that I can reduce my scale in the layout sheet to scale 1/4" to fit into the letter-size but the scale in the title markers are showing as the original 1/2" scale.
So, what do I have to do in the project or view map worksheets, without having to rescale markers, dims and texts [one by one] ?

I've read this twice and still can't figure out what you're saying...

Typically, when you want two printouts at different scales, you would create TWO different VIEWS in the View Map and applying the correct scale in the VIEW SETTINGS...

If you want the 1/2" scale drawing GLOBALLY reduced by 50% (all text and markers GET smaller proportionally) then simply change the scale of the DRAWING that is placed on the sheet.

Version 1 above rarely works cleanly without having to massage text sizes anyway to make the same numbers fit at both scales...

I believe you are looking for version 1 and looking to see the TEXT larger in 1/4" scale drawing as opposed to having it all tiny... right?

Thanks so much for trying to figure my confusion! I don't seem to get my markers, dims, text proportionately right when I scale down from 1/2" to 1/4". Attached is a screenshot of the scale down 1/4" and hope this helps you to visualize my problems. I am sure there is a way but I just don't know how and where are the 'buttons'.

I hope this can help you:

Thanks....I think I have figured out my problem.I have my markers in my worksheets and so when I bring the drawing with the markers into the layout, the markers are not changed to the layout scale [which you have suggested]. What I am going to try next is to bring in the drawing from my worksheet [copy and paste 5 times of the same worksheet ] so that the markers are from layout instead.
