Scale in PM & AC

[Anonymous]

It has been said to draw in your normal scale in AC such as 1/4" then to change your output scale in PM as you need it for the different size drawings such as D or tabloid. This seems fine until you update a drawing, then PM reverts the AC drawing back to its imported scale and ruins your newly scaled output CD booklet.
After building a set of CDs to the output scale you want should you disconnect the link?
What is your favorite method of building CD's in PM to get proper scale?
