When printing a metric drawing how do enter in the scale?

When printing a metric drawing how do enter in the scale?

(OP)
I am not sure what scale you enter in the print mode because the drawing is metric (1:200) on a E- size paper.
what do I enter in where it would say 1/4" = 1'-0"

RE: When printing a metric drawing how do enter in the scale?

A couple of questions. Are you plotting from Layouts (paperspace) or modelspace? Are you looking for 1:48 scale (.0208:1)? Have you tried selecting millimeters on the units and calculating scale from metric units? Let us know.

RE: When printing a metric drawing how do enter in the scale?

Thanks for answering my question.  I am plotting from paperspace.  The scale is 1:200.  I selected millimeters on the units.  So where it says Plotted MM = Drawing Units what should I put?  I tried 20=1 but the whole drawing did not print out, it did not print out the top part of the border.  I am asking because I really don't have a clue, I have never had to print out a drawing using a metric scale.  I used Turbocad to transfer the drawing from a plt. file to a dwg. file, because I have never plotted out a drawing with a plt. file. I hope I did not confuse you.
