Set the Plot Scale for a Layout
Generally, you draw objects at their actual size. When you plot the drawing,
you can either specify a precise scale or fit the image to the paper.
To specify a scale, you can enter the ratio of plotted units to drawing units,
or you can enter a standard or custom plot scale.
When plotting from a layout, model space objects display at the scale of their
layout viewport. To plot the model space objects at the viewport's scale, plot
the layout at 1:1.
When you are reviewing an early draft view, a precise scale is not always
important. You can use the Scaled to Fit setting to plot the layout at the
largest possible size that fits the paper.
