The other explanations I can think of are:

o Your drawing page size is correspondingly smaller - so as to 
produce the same effect.

o You have Drawing scale (in the same Options dialogue) set 
sufficiently high - perhaps 10:1 or whatever. If you change this, I 
think you may need to save and reopen your document to see the 
effect; this corresponds to your original problem description.
