Hello, I'm currently trying to work on a project for one of my classes with a group. We're having an issue getting our model to fit properly onto the paper, specifically a viewport issue. Everything was done in 1:1 on the model space; however, when we try to plot it onto the paper space, it's too zoomed in when at the correct scale. The floorplan is meant to be at 1/4"=1'-0" scale, the partition details are supposed to be at 3"=1'-0", and we know they are supposed to fit on 11"x17" paper (one page per scale). We have checked that the UNITS and -DWGUNITS are correct. If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great. I have the dwg file attached. Thanks!

If you click on the viewport you can see in properties the current scale, so can set correct scale 3"=1'. BUTTTT this is what it looks like using that scale. I may be wrong as i work metric.

Maybe the issue is drawing orientation.  At the scale of 3"=1' maybe the orientation should be vertical?

Maybe the issue is wrong information. It fits much better on a 17" x 22" sheet.

That's what I believe.

 

Could be an error or could be a trick to see if they notice the problem.

 

That's one reason I bought used books in college, usually some good notes on errors, trick questions, etc.
