Hi!
 
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!

Posibbly your viewport incorrectly in scale. Lets try typing "100:1" instead of 1:100 into viewport scale control at the bottom left corner of your screen. It's will works only when we working through Layout tab.

Hi!
 
Thank you.
 
Into the viewport scale control, where is this? Is it the regular command line box at the left down corner?
 
Thanks

ok, thank you.
 
I tried to adjust it to 100:1, but I get the same result.
 
Any more ideas?
 
Thanks

What is your drawings unit? in meter or milimeter? Do you draw them with 1:1 scale?

It is really hard to say when comes to scale a drawings to their size.
 
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.

Hi!
 
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

hi maybe someone give u some idea, but  anaway try this,... at the start  u have to draw  a rectangle equal to your desired paper size, for instant want A4, A4 =8.3"x11.7" convert to cm thus 8.3x11.7 =21x29cm draw the rectangle and offset toward inside maybe 1,1.5 0r 2 until you can preview all...note uncheck fit to paper and set to mm then set unit to 0.1mm.., 0.1mm is for 1:100 scale, the same principle with other paper size....try its good...
