Viewport scale Metric dwg.

Viewport scale Metric dwg.

Viewport scale Metric dwg.

(OP)
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

RE: Viewport scale Metric dwg.

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.
