Hello,

I have made a drawing layout with a title block. I made this in a A3 paper layout (not in the model tab)

Now i am starting to get some problems with getting this title block to work as a template. I will add screenshots from the file and print settings.

I am currently using Autocad LT 2018 for mac. My macbook is currently using MacOS Mojave version 10.14.3

First: I placed a rectangle in which i want the drawings from my model tab to show. I placed a viewport over this rectangle but it doesnt show anything?

Second: I cant get the scale right. For some reason the scaling is not working properly for me (probably because i am not an expert with the program, still learning for school) I want the drawing to be 1:50 so that 1mm on the drawing refers to 50mm in reality. I cant figure out how to change the model scale or how to scale the model down within the layout tab.

Third: I have a lot of problems with the printing. I created a new printing setup within autocad which is based on A3 landscape with minimal margins. Then selecting a dwg to pdf file or our A3 printer allows me to select a paper size which is also A3 landscape. Now when ever i try to print the layout is never in the center of the paper neither is it lined out nicely. Whenever i center the plot or change the print margins to the proper printing, it chances everything and either takes half of the layout or the print is on 1/4th of the paper while it should be 1/1. Also drawings are being scaled within the printing which results in the 1:50 drawing being 1:49/1:48.

Sorry if my english explanation is bad. When extra information is needed id love to give more information. Either answer me here or send me an email: mennovis01@gmail.com

Thanks in advance and i hope that somebody is able to give me some advice/tips.
