plotting

[patrick]

New user here, so please bear with me. I have a drawing with the scale set
at 1:20. How do I create and plot my layout so that it plots at 1:20?

Hopefully your drawing is drawn at 1:1, not 1:20

Assuming that is true, switch to a new layout tab.
Create a new viewport using the MVIEW command.
Switch to model space within that viewport by clicking the [Paper]
button in the status bar. It will change to say [Model]
Run the zoom command.
Choose the Center option.
Pick the approximate center point of your final display.
You should now be prompted for the magnification.
Enter "1/20XP" (without the quotes)
Switch back to paper space by clicking the [Model] button in the status bar.
Open the Properties window.
Click on the viewport.
Find the "Display Locked" property, set it to "Yes".

You can also scale the viewport using "MVSETUP". In the command, it will
prompt you for PS scale and MS scale. PS scale will always be 1, while MS
scale (in this case) will be 20. MS scale will be the scale you want your
viewport to be. Then you can open your "Properties" window and lock the
viewport under "Display Locked".

I have tried using MVSETUP and it comes back saying

Command: mvsetup
Unknown command "MVSETUP". Press F1 for help.

Is there something to install to use this command?

It seems this (mvsetup) is not a Carlson command (CS2004). I simply
create a viewport in a layout tab with the MVIEW command (that IS in
CS2004). Then I get close to where I want to be in the viewport by
double-clicking (entering floating model space) and once I get the
approximate area I want to see, I enter Paper space (by clicking model
on the bottom status bar) and select the viewport and go to the
properties dialog (by clicking properties, by default next to the layer
dropdown on the 'Standard' toolbar)
Under Misc in the properties, there is Standard scale selection. By
clicking the value you are presented with a selection of standard
scales. Select one of these and then lock your viewport with the
'display locked' value right above standard scale.
If you don't have what you want to see, then you will have to grip edit
your viewport to show what you need.

**Please note that this is a little more awkward than using Zoom>Scale
function, but it is a little more obvious to what you are doing.
**Note2: If you are using a clipped viewport you will have to select
viewport in the properties dialog to see these Misc options.

Email me if you need more explanation than that.
