I am having a problem in scaling my drawing to the paper.
I am using inch units with a 200 x 300 object size
This is being placed on a letter 8.5 x 11 inch page
Regardless of the scale factor that I use in the 'print preview' the drawn object is very much larger than the paper sheet.
In fact, as I change the scale factor there is NO change in the object apparent size.
I did try to export the drawing to IntelliCad and was suprised that the dimensions did not display on the exported file.

Scaling in Print Preview (further info)
Community Edition Ver:2.0.5.0 .. Ubuntu
Paper size set to 'letter' (11" x 8") and units set to inches in the drawing preferences.
Default for application preferances is also set to inches.
Drawing covers an area of approx 300" wide x 200" high. Dimension lettering 5" high.
If I go to 'drawing preview' and then 'fit to page' a scale factor of 0.22 .... is shown. This appears to be correct! However the page itself is only partially shown . Center to page is not helping.
In print preview I can scroll throughout the page and look at all elements but it appears that the page is not sizing down to the screen.
Help would be appreciated.
