wrong plot scale stamp

I am plotting a DWG in millimeters. For this particular case I want to plot 1:150; however the plot scale stamp says1:3810 which is the equivalent in inches. I have set the unit drawings to millimeters as well as the plot stamp units in the advanced options of the plot stamp window. Any suggestions on how to deal with this issue?

Are you plotting from modespace?

Did you change your plotstamp units setting to mm or meter or ...?

The error occurs in both model space and paper space

 

And yes, the plot stamp units are set in millimeters

 

Any ideas?

Can you share your DWG file? Ensure the plotstamps are there and set correctly.

See attached PDF: notice the ISO paper size I selected and the driver I used (it's in the PLOTSTAMP info on the sheet). I suspect you did not select an ISO paper size but an inches paper size which confuses AutoCAD and gets you the wrong scale info.

I see what you did; but I didn't have to do it like that in ACAD2014. I'll play with it.

I don't think so, but I no longer have R2014 either.

ISO seems to be the important bit.

I'll look at getting ISO's added to plotter. (IE "ISO A0" not just "A0") my DWGtoPDF printer has "ISO A0" and prints correct plot stamp

Try changing "Measurement System" to "Metric" in the window Region Settings and reboot. This worked for me.Capture.JPG
