I have several drawing files that I need to save in autocad format for a client.  The issue I am having is that there are several sheets in each drawing and there are several different scales with in that drawing or even multiple different scales on an individual sheet within a drawing.

Is there an easy way to save as autocad and not lose all the scaling of text and dimensions?

I have tried to change all the scales on my SW drawings to 1:1, but my text and dimensions do not scale with it, so I have to change them all in autocad.  Then there is the time wasted changing the scale twice in SW.

I have been saving each sheet as an individual file and setting the base scale for each sheet and that solves the text/dimension issue, but then I am creating 30-40 different files.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated,

Colleen
