The original drawing is set up in mm. If you want to change it to meters, you have to scale it with the scale command completely by the factor 1/1000 = 0.001. In the Current Drawing Preferences - Dimensions leave General Scale at 50, as this is the scale the drawing is intended to be printed. But you have to change the values for the height / size of the dimension elements by the factor 0.001 also, as for instance the text height on paper formerly 2 mm has now to be expressed in meters, 0.002m.
Confusing, isn't it?
Instead of copy and paste you could also delete all the surrounding unwanted stuff and save under a new name. And move nearer to the origin.
