Was going to say check the units options but if you've already checked that try checking the distance of a door.
It should be (for a single door) around 900mm (always work in mm in model space yeah).
If it's not 900 ish your drawing is drawn to a scale in model space when it should be 1:1 :y:

Because its set in mm.. and not m..
AutoCAD default draws in millimetres.. set it to metres and that'll give you it in m2.. just change it back to draw again..
I'm architectural tech so I'm using AutoCAD everyday..

Here here, I would have said the same thing. I'm a Project Manager and work in FF&E/FM and use AutoCAD to do all the space plannings and room layouts :geek:
