    Hey Art,
    There is another way that we at ICFP use a lot and find it very easy. Just right click in a blank space at the top of your AutoCAD screen by the toolbars and point at ACAD in the dropdown menu you will see a toolbar named viewports. Just click on it and when you double click in a paperspace window you select your scale from this dropdown of scales.
