I was Drawing in 1:25 and its now changed to 1:1

I'm Currently doing a drawing for TAFE and I have to use the scale 1:25 to draw, I've been working on this for a few days now and I just went on today and its changed to 1:1? I really do not want to restart this drawing, its dure very soon too. Is there a way to fix this, or see if most of my drawing is in 1:25??? I know I definitely used 1:25 at the start, I really hope I don't have to restart, any advice is great thank you! ๐Ÿ™‚

Unlike manual drawing when you draw on the computer you should be drawing everything at 1:1 which is the full actual size. This is one major advantage of drawing using the computer. 

Then when youโ€™re setting up to place what you have drawn on one of the standard paper sizes like A0 to A4 then you go to layout,  create a vport using the Mview command and set a scale like 1:25 on the vport looking at a view at the model. You should search online to give you more detailed instructions on how to go about doing this in AutoCAD
