Inserted block 1000 times larger than expected

This means you have a workaround: create your layout blocks in their own file(s) in model space, with model units set to the desired layout units, then open your target file and insert block instances on your layout.

Hi @jeremy5, (and @wim)
I thought I could use this workaround to edit all the blocks in Model space, but seems not to work when you have text in you block because somehow when you open the file in model space the text has disappeared (Exported block with text loses text - Rhino / Rhino for Windows - McNeel Forum).
Any idea why?

However, what is strange is that if you import the file it comes in the correct size. It seems that import ignores units altogether, which is unexpected to me, but maybe as designed…

Is this expected? This is a really strange behaviour in my oppinion.
