Drawing in Meters, but scale is off when plotting

[CADMAN33619]

Hi all,

I usually draw 1:1 in model space using feet/inches and have my border/text in paper space. All my scales come out just fine. However, for the latest drawing I'm working on, I need to draw in Meters. When I print out the drawing the scle is off. I have my drawing units already set to meters and the dimensions are correct.

How do I set up model space/paper space and border so that it will print to scale?

thanks

Are you using metric size paper for plotting?
Are you plotting to a scale such as 1:100 (1 PS unit =100 MS units)
I suppose more likely you are plotting 1:1 from PS, and the viewport controls the scale.
If PS units are millimeters and MS units are meters, then a VP scale of 1:1 would be an effective scale of 1:1000
