Annotaion Scale during plotting in Paper Space

[odwa.noah]

Hi, I have a very confusing situation.

I have a set o 14 x A1 drawings, with the print sheets in paper space.

I am supposed to be getting a scale of 1:1, if I am printing a A1 Sheet at full scale. Now some sheets give that result.

Other sheets give me a scale of 1:1000, and the sheet's units do not match the sheets that are at 1:1. (see attached JPG)

What can be the cause of this?

Hi, welcome to AUGI.

I can't read your thumbnail but, since the difference is a factor of 1000, the obvious first thing to check is if some drawings have units in metres and some in millimetres.

Hi Jaberwok,

thanks for the welcome. Hope this forum has more info (and quicker response times) than the Autodesk forum.

All these drawings were setup by me, at the same time, and all the units are in mm...

So I would not think that would be why. This change happened when we started opening the drawings in AutoCAD 2008 on some machines, and other users are still on AutoCAD 2007.

So my first instinct is to think that there is a setting in AutoCAD 2008, that affects these units.

I must be honest, I have had no time to find out the new features and things in 2008.

Hope that sheds some light.

I'm an idiot. Of course I can read your thumbnail - once I've enlarged it.
Not that it helps other to make me wonder if any changes have been made to the A2008 DWFePlot.pc3 configuration.
