    Default viewport aspect ratio

    I had trouble with the viewports on a recent drawing in AutoCAD LT 2005. Perhaps someone can help. After plotting the drawing, I noticed that, while my North-South dimensions plotted to the proper scale, my East-West dimensions were not to scale. I tried everything I could think of to figure out what was going on. Finally, in frustration, I drew some circles centered on the obstinate dimensions in model space. Sure enough, when I switched to paper space, my circles appeared as ovals.

    What is going on, and how do I fix it?
    Thanks
