Hi, i want to print my sheet in the scale 1:50, all my  viewports in it are in 1:50. But when i try to print with the 100% zoom i can only see a small portion of it. I dont know why. When i try the other option that is Fit to page, i cna then see to whole sheet printed but the scale is off. Also if i put the zoom scale to 50% it gets printed perfect but now the scale is off

Looks like you need something bigger than A3. What is the Height and Width of the Titleblock?

Yes, you need bigger than A3!  

 

...either change the paper size - or use a different titleblock and view scales to fit paper size.  

 

...if you don't care to print to scale, then print to fit what you have on the sheet

read what I added.

 

First thing I would do is load an A3 Titleblock Family into your Project. Then I would swap out the Titleblock that is showing with the A3.  After that, you need to change the View Scales of all the Views on the Sheet so they all fit within the Titleblock -- if that is possible.  It may not be.  Could become a big mess at new View scale.
