@JEFFJW9BB Thank you so much for sharing the DWG file.
Site/Civil Engineers draw with units = feet. And in this file the engineer only uses paperspace for plotting.
You seem to want to use units = inches.
There is a 12x difference (1foot=12inches).
So if you want 1/8" scale, you multiply that by 12 if you only want to work inside this other person's file (rarely a good idea if your "print" recipient is not a jurisdiction that will find it odd that you submitted a site plan at an unusual 1/8" scale).
Do this: In your viewport in their file, double-click inside it then set ZOOM command to 12x.
Yep, it does not all fit on an 11x17 at that scale. But it is 1/8"=1'-0" scale just like you wanted. Is that good enough for your needs?
OR... how about another plot scale if you need their full sheet on 11x17? Or plot to their 1:20 scale from modelspace to a PDF, then in your PDF viewer you can scale and print to 11x17 any way you want.
OR..
Open one of your own TEMPLATE files that is already set as you like to do all day long with your own files.
Then just XREF this units=foot file in there, using your own layouts, and find that plot scale and sheet size that will capture all the that content you want.
