Scale problems

I am using Corel Draw 8 and I can't get the scale that I am asking for to give me the correct rulers. I want my scale to be 1/4"= 1'. If I change the horizontal units to feet it says 1' page distance =48' world distance. If I change the horizontal units to inches, it tells me that 1" page distance=48" world distance. That is 1/4"=1'. However, when I view the rulers 8.5 inches page distance reads as 51" on the ruler. 8.5" shold correspond to 34' at 1/4" to a foot. What am I doing wrong?

  • Can you screen shot what is happening? I tried to re-create what you are doing, and my rulers (set to inches) showed 408" (34'-0") for an 8 1/2" page. Everything seems fine.
