[SML] Drawing Layers with Different Scales

How would that alleviate, the "will this all fit on this plate"
question. I know I can draft in whatever scale I like, and then port
it into a viewport.  That doesn't help the workflow issue I'm trying
to resolve, unfortunately.  I guess I'm just not smart enough to know
the answer to that question looking at a computer screen, and there's
no good way for me to solve that problem as rapidly, or as easily as I
like,
