Copy layout in designcenter. Everything scales.

[GVR]

Hello,

 

I have the problem that when i copy a layout through designcenter to a other drawing everything scales in the new layout.

The text in the titleblock gets very big, some revision and concept stamps getting diverent sizes. And the printarea doesen't fit the drawingframe anymore.

 

I was thinking of problems with the scalefactor of the block, but they are all 1 in the source and target drawing.

What do i wrong? This is happening in different drawings

 

I'm using acad 2009 LT.

 

Allready thanks for the help.

Are the units set to the same in both drawings?

[GVR]

Yes, they are the same. It's the same range of drawings from one building.

What values are all the following set to in each drawing:

InsUnits, InsUnitsDefSource and InsUnitsDefTargets

[GVR]

InsUnits = 4

InsUnitsDefSource = 4

InsUnitsDefTarget = 4

 

Can it be a problem that the units of some block's (titleblock and the stamps) are set on "unitless" and the drawing is in mm's?

I try further.

Between the original titleblock and the copied one is a scalefactor of 25,4. Looks like a inch and mm problem, but between the text hight of the attributes in the same block is a scalefactor of 644.

I have also started two new drawings, edited the blockunit to mm and copied the layout again, but with the same result.
