Can't set plot scale to 1:1

I'm trying to set the page setup's plot scale to 1:1. If I select that, it reverts to 1" = 1', which makes my title block scale by 12 when I insert it. I'm missing something but I can't remember what it is. Please see attached dwg.

I'm not able to replicate your problem, even when you don't include the titleblock: am I missing something? BTW, why plot a VIEW from paperspace?

Thanks for the quick reply Dean.

 

I can select the 1:1 scale, but when I repeat the PAGESETUP command it goes back to 1" = 1'. If you look in the properties palette without anything selected, annotation scale is listed as 1" = 1'.

 

I'll attach the title block.

 

I've plotted by view for years, when I set up my templates, I wrote some commands to import page setups. This has allowed me to programatically create views and page setups and get consistent results regardless of printer/plotter. It's worked for 15+ years so I haven't changed it.

 

ps. why won't this let me attach a dwg?

Sorry, I still am unable to replicate your issue. See screenshots attached and your DWG file back with changes saved.

Finally figured this out with the help of tech support. Someone edited the default 1:1 scalelist. Presumably to account for a civil dwg where the units are in feet. Something else I learned: -DWGUNITS is unique to verticals like Map and Civl 3D. Plain acad doesn't have it.
