Working with Scale

I use Auto CAD LT 2016 on a Mac.

I use it for Event Plans and get sent the dwg from ordnance survey which holds the coordinates for late GPS mapping on site.

I'm struggling to plot to scale. I use to use CAD on PC and never had this issue.

 

In Model space parts of my drawing are measured to M as I can deal with sites that are over 1000m in width.

 

I can set up a viewport fine and have done so for a sample A0 paper size, to test is I did the following:

 

NB: I only work in 2D 

 

Set an A0 paper size 

Open a veiwport to the size

Centred on a chair on the drawing about 60cm x 30cm so that it would fit on an A0 peice of paper whole 

hit 1:1 this SHOULD make the chair fit   roughly on the page  however my whole 600m site fits on 1 sheet of A0!

 

what am I doing wrong?

I have attached a drawing for you 

 

Thanks in advance
