Welcome to Autodesk Forums!

Create page setup for the Layout with paper size you want to import to Photoshop. Create viewport in this Layout and set viewport scale to 1:200.
Create PDF file by exporting this Layout to PDF file.
Open resulting PDF in Photoshop, verify paper size: if it is the same as you use when you created Layout, then the scale in Photoshop should be 1:200.

I don't see any content inside viewport.
Are you going to import an empty drawing?

You can enlarge viewport by selecting it and dragging the blue grips, than double click inside viewport and use ZOOM command with Extents option, than adjust scale (1:200) and use PAN command to fine tune position of the geometry inside viewport, than switch to Paper space and lock viewport with padlock icon on the Status Bar.

Dear maxim

 

i made a layout of size A1 , my paper taht i need and i made a new viewport and dragged it to make it the same size as the layout

when i click in the viewport to scale the drawings if i put 1:100 as you see in the photo now the drawings are very tiny almost unvisible

and on other custome scale of 1000:100 i tried it is big .

i want to bring this drawing into the scale of 1:100 as pdf to import to psd but in psd when i open the file and ruler the picture the scale doesnt match Smiley EmbarassedSmiley Embarassed
