    Default AutoCAD: Previous Plot reverts scale units to INCHES

    Hi all, new to the forum and was hoping to find some help. Did some searching but couldn't find the answer to this quirk I've found since upgrading to AutoCAD 2016:

    I've set my plot scale to millimeters, applied to layout, and plotted the drawing. Now when I go to a new drawing or layout and select "Previous Plot" the plot scale reverts to INCHES as oppose to millimeters.
    Why does the previous plot setting not remember the scale units?

    Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    What units is your file set to? If the file units are inches, that might be why it reverts to inches.

    All our drawings are in metric with units set to millimeters. And even if the layout I'm in already has the plot scale set to millimeters, selecting Previous Plot will change it to inches.
