Scale question on building plans (Visio 2003)

[onasixday]

I will be drawing many building plans for use in fire trucks as
pre-fire
plans.

Is it possible for most shapes to be the scale of the drawing (walls,
parking spaces, trucks, doors etc.) of say 1in to 20 ft, but some
shapes be
to no scale (compass rose, fire hydrants, electrical and gas shutoff
for
example) ?

Currently if one drawing is 1:20 everything is fine, but on a much
larger
drawing (like a school) might need to be 1:60, and my symbols that
represent
something now are way to small.

Is there anyway to have different layers to a different scale? or
force a
shape to not scale?

Thank you,

Eddie

You must know that if you have done your stencil yourself, if you define a
shape in it, Visio scale the shape with the scale of your drawing except if
the ratio between the scale of the shape in your stencil and the scale of
the drawing exceed 8. So you have to define the shape in a ratio that is
more than 8.

The scale apply to all object of the page not regarding the layer.

Perhaps you can also use background page with diffetent scale for you object
an put the background property of you first page with this background
