why it happens ?
how to solve the problem ?

In AutoCAD type SCALELIST, what are the scale properties for 1:50?
1/50 is 0.02.
Hi,
I suggest to follow this way of scaling. after clicking inside VP do the Zoom command as :
Command: Z ZOOM
Specify corner of window, enter a scale factor (nX or nXP), or
[All/Center/Dynamic/Extents/Previous/Scale/Window/Object] <real time>: s
Enter a scale factor (nX or nXP): 20xp
Note:
to get the factor of #xp follow :
scale 1 : 100 : 100 / 100 = 1 -------> 1xp
scale 1 : 1000 : 100 / 1000 = 0.1 -------> 0.1xp
scale 1 : 50 : 100 / 50 = 2 -------> 2xp
scale 1 : 5 : 100 / 5 = 20 -------> 20xp
Good Luck..
Hi @ahmad12sl,
Apart from al the great answers already provided, I'm going to come in with a different angle to possibly explain how and why it happens.
When you create a New Layout Viewport (let's just refer to the Rectangular Viewport for now), you'll see the extent of whatever is going on in the Model Space. You will be left with a "Standard Scale" of a random decimal "Custom" scaled viewport. e.g. 0.000475... It can really be anything, hence the "Custom" Scale.
When you select a viewport (e.g. - your current drawing viewport) and then look at your Properties Pallet >> under Misc, you'll notice something similar to the image below:
And also a decimal scale like this: (1:25 is represented, 1/25 = 0.04)
I think, you're looking for a way to select a drawing scale of 1:10, 1:20 etc.
Simply select your desired scale in the "Standard Scale" drop-down list. You'll then be left with something like this below:
If you then type in a decimal "Custom Scale" which is a standard scale in your SCALELISTEDIT, you'll notice that the format in your Properties Pallet and bottom quick reference will stay in your desired scaling format e.g. - 1:10, 1:20 etc.
Just to clarify, test it by typing in 0.1 under your "Custom Scale", you'll then notice that your "Standard Scale" automatically adjusts to 1:10.
You can add your own desired drawing scales like 1:25 as a test run as it does not form part of the standard drawing scales.
I hope this helps

@ahmad12sl, check to see if your 0.2 or 1:5 standard drawing scale wasn't deleted/altered for some reason. I just tested my above-mentioned explanation again and it works fine by following the exact steps.
For testing, follow the steps below:
Create a new layout viewport >> select the viewport >> adjust the standard scale to 1:100 in the dropdown >> now, type in a test decimal number of 0.2 >> your scale format should automatically adjust to 1:5.

Properties Pallet >> under Misc shows different (in layout & Model ) than which you sand is it a problem?
