    Exclamation Paper space not the right scale

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    Hi there,

    I set up my paper space to A1 size so i have plenty of room to dimention. However, if i measure what AutoCAD has set up as 'A1' then it is 3.2cm x 2.2cm, the atual size of A1 paper is 59cm x 84cm. If i were to print this page on A1 paper it still comes out the right size on A1. I know it doesnt sound too serious but i would like the paper space in the right scale so i can have my text set to the right hight and my bubble reference boxes the right size for when it is printed.
    (it also does this on all paper sizes, im just using A1 today)
    Can anyone help?

    Ah, doesnt matter i figured it out
    For those who have the same problem, double check the scale in page set up manager, mine was set to 1mm = 0.003 units
