New to using xrefs. I have a drawing I save at 1/8"=1'-0" scale, a title block for instance. Why when I reference this file to a new drawing does it not xref at 1/8" scale? It is about 40 times larger. ex. A 3' door references in at 118' wide. I cannot find any info in books or ArchiGuide about what I am doing wrong.

I can use resize, as you suggested, but shouldn't a .DWG file saved at 1/8" scale reference at 1/8" scale??
