Hans,

I think you are referring to the page scale factor:

File->Page Setup

Look at scale and fit-to sizes. If you want your objects to fit in one
page you can use fit-to 1 by 1 or play with the scale factor until you
get a satisfactory fit in the pages you want. I typically use a scale
factor of between 20 and 40 for the UML sheet but of course YMMV.

Best,
