    I am confused about placing dimensions on a viewport. Is it best to place a dimension on the grouped viewport or in a model viewport?

    Placing a dimension on the grouped viewport works fine as long as you make sure the correct dimension style is used.  If I use a 1/8″ scale on a 1/4″ viewport the ConDoc dimension is twice the distance and not real world. If I’m dimensioning to a grouped viewport that is to a scale then why do a need a scaled dimension? I can use Auto scale.

    What if I placed dimensions and then have to change scale of the viewport, will I have to match all the ConDoc dimensions to the matching scale dimension in the library?

    What about scaled drawings in layout, how do the dimension styles from the ConDoc library work? When I change the scale of a scale drawing, the dimension scales automatically but the text does not.

    Any input is greatly appreciated.
