Question
Hi, I need to print a drawing that its already in a tile block, the problem its that I need the drawing to a scale of 3/16=1 foot, it prints without a problem from the model space, but not from the tile block sheet, when I scale it everything goes to 3/16 even the tile-block, pls help
thanx

Answer
Hi Henry,

It sounds to me like you're not using your Viewports in Paperspace. Your title block should be in the Layout tab and your drawing should be in model space.  Go to your layout tab and in the area where you want your drawing to be, create a viewport and scale it to 3/16" = 1'.  Depending on what version you're using, there are quite a few ways to do that part.  

If this isn't the problem, make sure to let me know what version of Autocad you're using on your next response.
