the easy solution is to scale your xref of the others work, 0,0 hasn't moved , so the scale change is easy.Thats what I do.

Xrefs work great most of the time, but it seemed like Krushert was working off the drawing directly.Unfortunately sometimes 0,0 DOES get moved by someone who doesn't understand the implications, but that is a "different kind of problem".One very good thing about the xref is that once the scale and rotation are set, even if the plan changes completely, if they haven't messed with the origin or rotation you can just point the xref to the new drawing file.Everything should fall into place and any layer settings carry over from the old xref.

I was directly working off the surveyors drawing but I then copied his Property Lines into my drawing so I can align my new building with PLs.I am xrefing the existing building and the new into the drawing as separate xrefs.This is so I can move the new building independently of the existing building.The problem with this project has been finding a good location of 0,0 with the new building that will not get moved later.The brains and owner are still tweaking to find that “right” balance of “it looks like I spent a lot money but did not”.Exterior walls are still getting tweaked and the tie-point is coming from one main corner that got tweaked.Aside from that the xrefs have been great at tweaking things because the building is one entity.
