Don't go by what the scale dropdown says. Those are just labels. You need to use the SCALELISTEDIT command to examine each scale for its true ratio. You're still using a scale that applies a factor of 12.

This is what is messing you up. You need to understand how units work. AutoCAD does not recognize 1 unit as any type of length, it is simply one unit. If you change your length type in the UNITS dialog to Decimal, you see what AutoCAD sees, just units. If you apply the Architectural format, it just adds an inch mark to it, the units didn't change, i.e. your drawing model was not scaled. If you change the Insertion Scale to Feet, a block that has its Insertion Scale set to inches will get scaled by a factor of 1/12. If you have a square that is 10 units by 10 units and change the Insertion Scale to meters, the box does not get scaled, you still have a box that is 10x10. In other words, AutoCAD doesn't know that you started out with a box 10"x10". So, when you create your scale list entry, you have to apply the proper ratio so that model space entities appear the correct length when measured in paper space.
