Trouble displaying drawing in Viewport

[grain]

I have a drawing made in model space and displayed at 1:100 in an A4 Viewport Landscape layout. No problem, but when I open a second layout

using an A3 paper size I assumed the drawing would automatically fit if scaled at 1:50, however, the drawing appears cropped. Please help me understand what I may be expecting or doing

wrong.

The difference of scaling between metric paper sizes is the square root of two. So you would have to scale the A3 to 70.7143 for the two sheets to match.

 

However, with the paper margins and any title block requirements, the actual scaling could alter so that the viewport areas would match.

If you were to use an A2 paper size at 1 to 50, the viewport areas should be much closer.
