I am working on a very large scale metric drawing (1:15000) but when I create a viewport in paperspace and zoom to get an appropriate view the scale of the viewport is not what I would expect. I expect a scale of 0.0000666 but Autocad says the scale is 6.5xp. Does anyone know whats going on.
Thanks

bilbao,

how can Acad say the scale? How do You work, which "units" do You use?
I draw in mspace meters, and in pspace millimeters. My zoom:
"1000/15000xp" or 0.0666666...xp.-> so a line of 100(meters)in ms became 6.666(mm) in pspace.
