ORCAD CAPTURE 17.2 Schematic Size is too large for what I have placed and the options I selected

Hi, I have put together a three page schematic and the symbols are tiny when placed on the schematic sheet. I used basic symbols straight out of the transistor library and logic library. When I zoom out enough to see the whole sheet and title block, the components are so small that I cannot make them out.

I have the sheet sizes all set for size A, but that doesn't make a difference.

The title block appears to be the correct size for the sheet size I am using. I tried closing and then reopemning the project, hoping that would set everything correctly, but nothing changed.

Hi Nikom,

Try millimeters instead of inches in schematic page properties and select A2 or A3 or A1 as per your need

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I tried that and it did not correct the problem. One clue I did see though was the Pin to Pin spacing in the Schematic Page properties is off by an order of magnitude.
