can't scale drawing to 1:250 for printing

hello, i have a 1:1 siteplan that i drew with meters as the units. i need to print at a 1:250 scale, however whenever i try to do so in the layout tab, it is incredibly small even on a 11" x 8.5" paper. i'm not entirely sure if i'm doing something wrong, or if it's the scale i am using. i have attached the dwg file if that is helpful. thanks!

Since you're drawing in Meters in Model but your Layout is using units in Millimeters then this is your ScalelistEdit factor for 1:250:

To see more of your large site plan I would use 1:1000 then your ScalelistEdit factor would be this:

I think you should be using a scale of 1 to 2500.

 

At a scale of 1 to 250, you would not get your scale bar (lower right hand side of drawing) onto an A1 sheet.

I think you are correct to see the entire site at 1:2500 @n_nhaery

thank you, i'm testing out the 1:2500 scale as you showed in your message, mine isn't filling the A1 page. have i done something incorrect in the provided screenshots? i do need the siteplan printed on a page size that adequate for drawing over with tracing paper. thank you again.

As I responded previously, setup a layout for each different scale instead of changing the PLOT window's scale...leave that at 1:1
