The survey I pasted at the bottom of the drawing and inside the box.
The is one more problem that I encounter. Everytime I open the CAD file, it said "missing arch font". Can you correct this problem?
TIA
RE: converting survey drawing to correct scale
Missing font files will have to be provided to you by whoever sent you the drawing. I also found several "nonstandard" fonts in the drawing:
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [University Roman LET].
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [solid1.shx].
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [helv-ls.shx].
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [logo2rca.shx].
Substituting [simplex.shx] for [c:\ACAD12\FONTS\a.shx].
Substituting [@extfont2.shx] for [ARCHT].

First back in model space your barscale is wrong. Its total length s/b 80'but it shows at 6'8". So either scale it to 80' or redraw it. If you scale it the scale factor will be 80*12/80 or 12. Then go to the layout mentioned above and highlight the viewport where the barscale is and scale that part of the drawing. Since you show a scale of 1"=20', that scale factor is = 20*12/1=240. Now there are two major thinr to do : 1)invoke the viewport toolbar to select(if available) 1"=20' or to manually input the 240 value and enter the input so as to scale the drawing within that viewport properly or 2) on command line invoke Z>S> 1/240XP and enter to scale that same viewport.
You can verify the accuracy of that scaling by measuring the overall length of the barscale when it is in paper space and model space as 4" and 80' respectively.
Be prepared to see a change in that viewport as you may require it to be increased or decreased in size.
All scaling of drawings in viewport is done exactly that way as long as the drawings in model space have correct dimensions which you barscale did not have.

Anotherway to check out for the Font listing, go to window explorer, select the drive (in my case it is C)in which you have program files, then select the ACAD folder and check out the fonts file.
