Hi
 
First time on forum
using AutoCAD 2008
 
when in paperspace, you can see the printable area boundary as a dashed line.  You can then create a Viewport within this space to print to scale anything from model space.
 
Is there a way to make the Viewport the exact same size as the paper boundary without using guess work - currently i just drag the viewport size as close to the printable area as possible
 
thanks in advance.

Don't know about that direction-
but you can go the reverse route: set up an exact area /window you want to print, then in plot manager set your print limits to match.  Your dotted "print window" will shift to meet specified area, so they will thereafter appear coincident.
