One solution which allows you to use the same base drawing at several different scales: keep a base in a different file, xref the base to model space of the sheet file, add notes and additional details specific to the sheet in model space, format it on the sheet in paper space/layout.
The only trick is in scaling the text in model space so that it shows up consistently in different scale drawings on the layout. You'll build several dimstyles and name them so that you know which to use for which scale drawing.
Sounds tricky but it ends up being much cleaner than other ways I've tried.

Paper VS. Model space
Any thought on dimensioning, note, text in drawing set (for Plan check).
Can anyone give me some suggestion where I should do it; paper or model space, WHY?
A similar questions was just discussed last week. Refer to this thread .
Thanks
