Template Problem

[VirtualSpannerMonkey]

Hi,
I'm trying to insert a template into an autocad drawing but it keeps coming out at a much smaller scale than it should be...
the DWT file is the correct paper-size and i'm inserting it by right clicking the last tab and selecting "from template"
if I scale it up the atributes don't scale with it.

I've had this problem in a previous workplace and it just desides to do it when it feels.

I'm using AutoCAD 2006

Thanks
p.s I've checked the drawing units and "insunits"

Have you tried Insert --> Layout --> Layout from Template?

Thanks for you reply, that way also gives the same result.
I ended up starting a new drawing and copying the information I needed.
It appeared to be that certain drawing that was currupt in some way(get it from time to time)
Thanks

I've had problems before where my INSUNITS were wacky. It cleared up when I reset to 2.

Are you inserting your template as a block from the Insert pull down? If so check the scale in the X and Y directions! and why would you want to scale the attributes? If you want to change attribute size, I would use refedit.

I was trying to scale the attributes as the whole thing comes in at a far smaller scale than it should.
I've tried inserting it as a new template via the tabs and by inserting as a block.
It seams to do it in certain drawings, if I start a new drawing its fine...
maybe its just one of those silly little flaws...
Oh well were upgrading to 2008 today so more fun and games ahead.
