Electrical site plans

How come my styles do not scale correctly when I am workingon a site plan (parking lot lighting). Everything was created with the units set to inches. When I change the units to feet, nothingscales correctly – wires, devices, and even things like leaders.

I thought this was supposed to be the beauty of annotativescaling – you make the block once and it is always right.

Did you draw everything in model space at full size?

 

The beauty of annotative scaling is that text, dimensions, hatching, blocks, tolerances and multi-leaders are uniformly displayed in one's layout no matter what scale is assigned to the viewports. The caveat is the same scales have to be applied to the annotative objects back in model space. Annotative scales are not applied to model space geometry.
