scale

Hello

My problem is that I set up the page to scale 1:100, and when I set the viewport to 1:100, it looks so small, even though I set the units and dwgunits to be the same.

and when i fit the drawing into the viewport, it gaves me this scale

it's so important to me to print it in the right scale

Well that all depends on what you're drawing. If the object is like your smart phone that you're drawing and you want to show that at a scale of 1:100 on a A0 size sheet of paper you'll get a very tiny object shown in the vport.

Share your drawing so we can all see what exactly it is that's being drawn.

If you’re drawing 1 unit = 1Meter and your A3 layouts is set as mm then your zoom scale factor to get 1:100 is 0.1xp

The issue has to do with the way you set up the page to plot. As you stated you've drawn everything in Model Space as 1 unit = 1 Meter. But as I stated in my previous post the Layouts in Paper Space should all be setup using mm paper sizes. So your Plot scale should be left as 1:1.

First I renamed your Layout6 to A3 1-100 to represent A3 sheet size plot as 1:100.

Below is a screen capture of the PLOT window with A3 paper size Plot Scale set 1:1.

Then the Paper Space Vport uses the Zoom scale factor calculated as 1/0.100XP = 10:

I also created another layout called A0 1-40. This gives you an idea as to how a 1:40 scaled drawing fits onto an A0 size sheet. Again the PLOT window is left with the Plot Scale set as 1:1.

This time the Paper Space Vport uses the Zoom scale factor calculated as 1/0.040XP = 25:
