The problem I face once I get the orthogonal views on the sheet, is that when I dimension it, the dimensions are 1/8 the size. e.g. a table top that is 400 mm wide, now shows up as 50 mm. Obviously I can keep it at a 1:1 scale, but that wouldn't fit on the tabloid size paper. So..... how can I scale the image down 1/8, but allow the measurements to read correctly at full-scale? What am I doing wrong? I'm stuck and I need to do this asap :( Thanks!!!

If you keep the draw views they will scale the dimensions for you. until you flatten them, so don't flatten then if you want to dimension them or change them they can stay as drawviews. Print fit to page or scaled value Remember the following print 1:1 text and lineweight print as set if you print 1:2 your text will be 1/2 as high and your lineweight will be half what its value is. so your text and lineweight scale to the print setting so plan accordingly if you need a certain text height or lineweight printed.
