Autocad 2010 LT, I have done something on my drawing that I have no clue what I've done. I'm lost and can't figure out a way to get print to correct size. Title/border is where it should be but drawing has been shrunk, Again I have no clue what I've done or how to fix it... Please help..:shock::shock::shock:

Try not to panic. The cadamedics will be here shortly.

 

You didn't happen to intentionally zoom within your drawing using your mouse scroll wheel by any chance?

 

It appears you neglected to lock the viewport display that's all. Reset the viewport scale then lock the display via the Properties panel.

Or maybe, just maybe, you are using zoom extents in your viewport and you have an errant object in your drawing, way, way, way, way out there some place, effectively enlarging your "extents" out to the danged thingy.

 

If ReMark's suggestion doesn't work for you, do a select all to see if a grip appears off in the distance some place. Then you can hit esc to de-select then drag a select window over the spot where the thingy is to erase or move it as it may suit you.

:D Thank you much.

 

Zoomed to extents on D-size. Zoomed in to where I needed drawing and locked viewport on bottom of page..

 

Happy camper....Learning a new thing everyday, is a good thing.

So the scale assigned to your viewport is what?

Posted

Scale on drawing is 1 to 1. Drawing not to scale.

No scale because it is a schematic right?
