    Question Insert Template becomes 12x bigger

    Hi,
    Tried to insert border template from the model layout into paper space layout.
    The border was inserted 12x bigger than the original.
    To insert template, Right Click on the Model tab, select From template, browse select the border template, click Open, click OK, and AutoCAD will create a new layout called Layout2-Layout1. Click on Layout2-Layout1, the border template becomes 12x bigger.

    Tried on a different file, it was perfect.

    What's going on? Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    Is this a ddunits problem? Are both your drawings set to the same units?

    Yes, it is the same units. It is so weird.
    I just redo it.
    Thanks

    It is odd that it's 12 times larger, since that would be exactly what would happen if the one dwg was set to feet and one to inches!
    Can you just turn around and scale by a factor of 0.083333?
