drawing was made the wrong size

[tennisace77]

Who ever made the dwg im working with made it with a custom plot scale on the page setup.This caused them to draw the border the wrong size and essentially the entire drawing is the wrong size. When I set the plot scale at 1:1 and paper size ANSI D the dwg does not fit into the printable area. Whats the best way of adjusting the drawing to fit into the printable area in paperspace without doing fit to paper?

Also when I redraw the border to the correct size I need to adjust each viewport so it fits into the drawing. But this in turn causes the text to shrink accordingly which is why the text appears to be so small when trying to print at 11x17.

i can email you the dwg so that you can see what im talking about.

The viewports (at those scales) are to big to fit on the sheet. Either reduce the scale of each viewport and move them so they do fit on the sheet or move some of the viewports to a second sheet (retaining their current scale/size).

 

As all the text is in model space and is not annotative, option 1 will require you to resize/move all the text manually. Personally I'd try option 2 and just create a second sheet if its possible.

 

There is no easy way as far as I am aware.
