Thank you very much for trying to help me.

 

I discovered this message when starting up autocad;

 

Failed to update the system registry.

Please try using REGEDIT.

 

Can this be a problem?

 

Thanks

 

What I would suggest you are,

 

1. Always draw 1:1 in Model space.

 

2. In Page Setup Manager,

       i)  Set the right paper size, 

       ii) Select the 'what to plot: to Layout,

       iii) Select 1:1 , in Plot scale column. ok. and out.

 

3. Then, xrefing A4 titleblock into layout and create viewport. 

 

4. Activate the model/paper space tab to MODEL.

 

5. Then you can play around and figure it out the appropriate scale

    into Viewport Scale Control at bottom left corner of the screen.

 

6. Turn back the tab to PAPER when you have finished.

 

In your case, if I understand the issue, you have already on the right track but possibly you had improper in ratio scale.

 

thanks.

 

 

 

I tried to adjust it to 100:1, but I get the same result.

 

Any more ideas?

 

Thanks

 

please see the attached image'

 

You can type into it or just scrolling down to select the given scale ratio.

 

good luck.!

 

Thank you.

 

Into the viewport scale control, where is this? Is it the regular command line box at the left down corner?

 

Thanks

 

When I try to scale my drawing in 1:100, on to an A4 sheet, the preview shoes just a little dot (about 1 x 1 cm) in the left corner of the sheet.

 

Whar is wrong?

 

Thank you!
