Re: 1'0"=3/32"
First off, when you scanned the plans did they stay in scale? Just since I have had problems with the file not being true life to scale after scanning.
anyway, in the scaling feature in VW you will find that the paper scale is the ratio of old scale to new. such that say 1" scale is 12"/1"=12.00000
and 1/4" scale is 12"/0.25"=48.0000
So therefore 12"/(3/32")=128.0000
As far as the page setup, I don't know why it would come in square, do you have a printer connected to this computer? In either case, if you go to [File] [Page Setup] and set it to a normal 8.5/11 or whatever you need, and then, if it is still funny looking go to [Page] [Set Print Area] and try that.
My only other thought is that you are refering to the grid, which i dont believe is what you mean and it is usually blue.
Hope this helps.
