Viewport Scaling Issue

Hi, I'm using Lt 2011 and Win 7

 

I have a metric drawing done on a D sheet with a Vp scale = 1:50, and everything is fine. I just received a new template from a client with a D size sheet, however in order for me to see the same drawing, I have to set the VP scale = 1:1000. I know this is a simple fix as the client template is imperial, but I can't remember how to do it (brain freeze). Any help is appreciated.

 

Thanks

Highlight the viewport frame and check out the properties box on it. There is a scale setting option there.

 

HTH

The VP scale is set to 1:1000, but it needs to be 1:50. Here's a sample. The drawing is rather small, with text set to 1:50 for a 2.5mm PS txt ht. Based on the other drawings I have been doing lately, the drawing shown when you first open it should be somewhere between 1:50 and 1:100 in scale. But it's not.

 

Thanks

"D" size is the problem? Your "B" size is 1:1000, your "D" size is correct at 1:50.

 

Copy your B viewport into your D layout, and it is way too teeny-tiny to be a B size. All your other layouts seem correctly sized at D size.
