For starters, you need to un-check the box that says 'fit to paper', and give it a scale to print at. Scaled to fit paper will never be in scale when it prints.

The CMR(/M) Lens Mount features a 8-32 (M4) tapped mounting hole for post-mounting our C-Mount-compatible camera lenses with our line of Ø1/2" and Ø1" Posts.

We also offer the CMRR C-Mount Retaining Ring (not included) for positioning components within the cage plate. Optics of thickness less than 0.21" (5.3 mm) with diameters between 0.87" and 0.97" can be secured inside this cage plate using two retaining rings.

The CP13(/M) Cage Plate allows for C-Mount-threaded components to be incorporated with our 30 mm cage system. Possible components include our line of C-Mount extension tubes, CMOS/CCD cameras, and camera lenses. Each cage rod through hole is accompanied by a side-located locking M4 setscrew, which can be secured using a 5/64" (2.0 mm) balldriver or hex key. The CP13(/M) can also be post mounted via an 8-32 (M4) tapped mounting hole.

When you draw in metre units, then 1 drawing unit = 1000 mm. So your model plotting scale for 1 to 100 should be 1 drawing unit in mm (i.e.1000) = 100 which is 1000 = 100 which simplifies to 1mm = 0.1 unit

We also offer the CMRR C-Mount Retaining Ring (not included) for positioning components within the cage plate. This cage plate has an inner diameter that is too small to accept Ø1" (Ø25.4 mm) or Ø25 mm (Ø0.98") optics. Optics of thickness less than 0.18" (4.5 mm) with diameters between 0.87" and 0.97" can be secured inside this cage plate using two retaining rings.

The only problem here is that I want to write "scale" on printout using Fields. And now this field is saying "1:0.1". But I want it to say "1:100"...

I work in the railways industry - an if say a platforms 10 metres long or 100 metres long we ALWAYS draw in mm, so there's nothing wrong with putting the extra 0's on, it just takes a bit of patience to remember how manys needed - believe me it's a bit confusing at times

... therefore it is 1:0.1 in metres (quote that on your drawing)... get used to it or draw it using the base unit of mm.

It does not matter whether you are drawing in metre units, centimetre units or millimetre units, plotting is ALWAYS done in mm. That is the way it has been done since I started. You will just have to adapt to it.

This mount and cage plate have an inner diameter that is too small to accept Ø1" (Ø25.4 mm) or Ø25 mm (Ø0.98") optics. Optics with diameters between 0.87" (22.0 mm) and 0.97" (24.6 mm) can be secured inside these components with two C-Mount retaining rings, available below. Retaining rings are not included.

The CMRR C-Mount Retaining Ring is compatible any component with internal C-Mount (1.00"-32) threads. These retaining rings are engraved with the part number as well as "C-Mount" to distinguish them from our SM-threaded retaining rings.

I draw pipes in the ground, right now the main pipe is 1800 meters long, that's not including the acess lines for the customers along the pipes - I still draw in millimeters - why? I suck at scales

Thorlabs' C-Mount-threaded post mount and cage plate allow for the mounting of C-Mount-threaded components, such as our line of C-Mount extension tubes, CMOS Cameras, and camera lenses. The CMR(/M) mount is post mountable for integrating components into systems over free space. The CP13(/M) cage plate can be used to incorporate these components into a 30 mm cage system.

Then scale wouldn't have to be "1000 DUnits = 100" wich is as you said simplified to scale "1 : 0.1". But it would simply be "1 : 100"
