Husky,
Here are some of the posts where you mentioned the “if you scale your viewport by 1:X, then you need to scale your title block by X:1 to compensate” that I suggested earlier in this thread that you are a proponent of.

Keep in mind: If you intent to print with a scale of 1:10 then you have to compensate the Paper_Frame etc with a counter-scale factor of 10. What is your intended print scale? Looks like something like 1" = 3" but that would be an unusual scale …
