setting paper space up.

[jbgraphic]

So I have a question about how to setup the paper size in paperspace, I want my template to match the papersize in paperspace.
ie I have a metric template and want it to be setup so when I do a preview it looks right?

Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

Right-click on your Layout1 tab and select Page Setup Manager. At the next screen click on the Modify button. At the following screen start setting all your parameters including Paper Size.

Since you will be plotting from a layout your scale will be 1:1 (1 mm = 1 unit).

I do hope you'll be starting off with a metric template file and not an imperial template file.

Perfect that is the page I could not remember :) Yeah I have metric and imperial templates.

OK I must be missing something, this is my inch template and the "paperspace" is the little white square down to the left?
Any ideas what I am not setting up correctly?

What does that border measure?
25.4 times what you were expecting?

Not sure how do I check that? I am only a student so still learning all this stuff.
Sorry if this is silly question.

Fixed it, somehow I got my metric and inch templates mixed so the scale was all messed up.

That is prolly what JD Mather was getting at, the multiplier from inch to milliimeter is 25.4. :) just an fyi
