Model Space to Paper Space Scaling Issue

HI, I have an issue where when I copy and paste something (a title block in this case) from Model Space to Paper Space the scale gets messed up, and the drawing ends up being much larger than the page, seemingly turning the scale from millimetres to inches. My graphics teacher and I have looked for any setting that may be off, but they all seem to be in order. Is there some sort of quick fix or at least a workaround other than manually scaling all copy-pasted objects?

Hi. This is a 3dsMax/3dsMaxDesign and your question is about AutoCAD. You better ask in the right forum 🙂

BTW - Paper space scale is set up in Plot Manager.

Use the CHSPACE command rather than copy and paste between MS and PS.

Always save a copy of the drawing before trying anything suggested here.

I'm using AutoCAD for Mac, so CHSPACE is of no use, and the three variables seem to have no effect.

 

Thanks for the help so far

What size is your Titleblock in Model Space ?

What size do you have your layout paper size set to ?

 

If your titleblock is in model space............it may be to large to copy to your layout page.

 

just a thought !
