AutoCAD/Achitectural dimensioning

Question
I want my output to always output 1/8 letters in 1/8, 1/4 or 1/2 scale Architectural drawings.  We draw full size and output to scale.  It is a pain to change all dimension styles for each output.  Is there not a factor that could be put in to automatically change font height, dimension spacing and such?
Does this make sense?  We use AutoCAD 2000, 02 and 06
Thanks, Mike Coutryside High School

Answer
Sorry I let this one get lost.
I am rusty, but you are dealing with LTSCALE and PSLSCALE here  (assuming you are using layouts, and, if you are not, WOW!).
I could stop and look this up and explain it to you, but it is a chapter in any decent AutoCAD book, which you should have available to you.
Sorry I cant do more tonight.
