Are you plotting from model space or a paper space layout?

 

Are you plotting both on the same piece of paper or separate sheets?

Command SCALE if the red area is indeed too big.

 

Or in the Plot dialog box, change the Plot Scale to something suitable.

In the future you might want to consider the use of layouts and one or more viewports. Just a suggestion.

How to resizing the red plot same with blue plot ?

If the red plot is too big, then use the command SCALE (type SCALE at the commandline and follow the prompts) to get the red plot to the correct size.

 

Another alternative is when you plot, in the Plot window, you can change the Plot Scale to something other than 1:1 (which is should say as a default) to get the red plot to print at the correct size

 

And yes, like ReMark says, when you create your own drawings, it might be easier if you use Layouts and control the size from there. With an already done drawing, like this one seems to be - I would use either of the above suggestions.

Those are rather unusual scales even for a metric drawing. Any reason why?

Still can't change it...anyway thank you.. by the way got any tutorial for basic training ?

Not really. An A3 is 297x420, the 277-measurement fits with that. All depends on what margins the drawing have.

What can't you change?

 

277.3 divided by 945.5 = 0.2932839767318879 or rescale using the REFERENCE option of the SCALE command. Look at your command line.

 

Yes, there are tutorials here at CADTutor. Click on the Tutorials button at the top of the screen.

I thought he was referencing a scale (1:277) not a dimension. My mistake.

Ah. Well, it could be as you assumed, or as I assumed. You know the problem with assuming.

Yes. We may be right or we may be crazy.:lol:

 

The two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. :| :beer:
