excuse me arben, but could you explain further? As i have not been inserting the drawing into a new layout, usually i set the print layout in the original drawing.
thanks]]> Wed, 08 Oct 2008 10:21:22 +0000 https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=3174&title=scale-issue#3174 <![CDATA[scale issue : mmcc wrote:Hi all, I am a newbie...]]> https://www.cadforum.cz/forum_en/forum_posts.asp?TID=1176&PID=3173&title=scale-issue#3173 Author: Arben.Allaraj

My problem is as follows: I received a CAD dwg from an architect in Brussles, however I think they have dimensioned the drawing in ‘cm’ where as I work in ‘mm’ and when I am in printing layout, I have found that their drawing seems to be at a 1/10 scale which does not seem right as usually when I am trying to print out on an A3 sized page usually the drawing has to be at a 1/100 scale to fit all of it. Yet when I input the drawing scale as 1/100 the model shrinks considerably and is just not right. I hope I have explained myself properly and I am very greatful to anyone who has taken the time to read my query.

 
When you are inserting drawing use scale 1/10 .
