Use the AECTOAUTOCAD command...

When I activate the viewport in the layout previously mentioned and I check the scale it is not set to 1:150 rather it is shown as a percentage with the value of 0.003424. If I check the Properties palette and look under the heading Misc.(at the very bottom) it lists an Annotation scale of 1:50. So at what point did you add the AEC objects? Before or after you scaled the drawings in model space? Do you have a copy of the original drawing you received from the architect? STOP! I may have inadvertently solved your problem. This is what I did. I opened the drawing and activated the viewport. Next, I opened the Properties palette and went down to where it says Annotation scale and changed it from 1:50 to 1:1. I then changed the viewport scale to 1:150. I repositioned the drawing in the viewport then I locked the viewport display so that I wouldn't accidentally change the viewport scale as I popped into and out of model space via the layout. Try it and let me know if you are successful.

This will deep clone a selection of objects to a new Layout: ;; lay = New Layout Name (Will be Created if non-existent) (defun CopytoLayout (lay / ss NewLay ObjLst) (vl-load-com) ; Lee Mac ~ 27.01.10 (setq *acad* (cond (*acad*) ((vlax-get-acad-object))) *adoc* (cond (*adoc*) ((vla-get-ActiveDocument *acad*)))) (cond ( (not (snvalid lay))) ( (ssget) (vlax-for obj (setq ss (vla-get-ActiveSelectionSet *adoc*)) (setq ObjLst (cons Obj ObjLst))) (vla-delete ss) (if (vl-catch-all-error-p (setq NewLay (vl-catch-all-apply (function vla-item) (list (vla-get-Layouts *adoc*) lay)))) (setq NewLay (vla-Add (vla-get-Layouts *adoc*) lay))) (vla-CopyObjects *adoc* (vlax-make-variant (vlax-safearray-fill (vlax-make-safearray vlax-vbObject (cons 0 (1- (length ObjLst)))) (reverse ObjLst))) (vla-get-Block NewLay)))))
