I'd like to be able to create boilerplate drawing outlines, (that I can vary the content of with some python scripts), then draw at 1:1 or 2:1 or 4:1 on another layer so that the drawing outline is unchanged. For one outline the size to print at would be US letter, another the size to print at would be 11 X 17 inches, etc. Changing the drawing scale would have no impact on the other layer -- the drawing outline form. It should be possible to show 1/4 of a 1:1 scaled drawing that would cover 11 X 17 inches full scale locating the 1:1 origin on the 8.5 X 11 page and clipping what extends beyond a view area. View area could be defined by a box that shows what is inside it and not what is outside it, and designated by 2 points in corners.
It's just the usual drafting stuff. It's necessary to show people printed docs at different scales for rapidly conveying meaning.
