In Printpreview. Scaling the print does not scale the drawing smaller, but the paper -size larger. This is unexpected.
One should scale the drawing down to available paper size, not the other way.
Scaling is not done at the natural intuitive analog manner, with surprising results.
When scaling, all visible attributes becomes smaller; lineweigth too
See added pdf.
Closure comment
This is expected behavior.
The scale factor does NOT scale or otherwise modify your drawing.
Lineweights are defined in paper units (1mm line is always printed as 1mm on paper) not drawing units.
