Topic: Help!! Printer isn't printing full "windo" Posted: 08.Mar.2018 at 19:11 |
I am trying to print a letter sized dwg, I have paper size set to letter, plot scale to fit to paper, what to plot to window and center the plot and when it prints it doesn't fit to paper it prints 95% of the portrait dwg but shrunk down to about 80% of page with a 2" boarder on the right and a 2.5" boarder on the top??? I don't know how to fix it. Can anyone please help?

What units are you working in?
Are you printing from model space or from a layout? If I had a copy of the drawing I could try printing it.

You can upload it here in the CAD Blocks section. Then tell us the name of the drawing and what category it is in. Or....
....you can click on my user name then click on the link to my Profile. I'll leave my email address "active" for the next ten minutes. Hurry, time's a wasting. Sorry...time's up. And no upload either? Guess I'll be on my way. I do hope you will find a solution to your problem. Good luck.

Sorry John couldn't get the dwg to go in your email and I'm very busy at work.
Here is the block I added: Internal version DWG2007 - UPLOAD file: CANOPIES_-_Copy.dwg (109696 byte) SAVED to DATABASE: CANOPIES_-_Copy.dwg 15646 (cat. Plastic) Display result - inserted block |

I had no problem printing it to a letter sized piece of paper (portrait orientation) from a layout. So I next tried printing it from model space. Same result.....no problem in fitting it on the paper. I have no idea what you are doing different than me.
To be clear, your drawing has ten objects on layer 0, color white, with dimensions also on layer 0 but in a color red, separated in two groups of five objects each. I printed one group of five objects at a time to an 8.5x11 piece of paper. The Plot Scale was set to "Fit to paper" and the option to "Center the Plot" was enabled. By the way, why does it appear that you are using both metric and imperial notation in your dimensions? And did you know that you are using the default acad.dwt template file that is set to use decimal inches? Just curious.

I guess it's just something on my end then..... not sure what?
the dimension thing is a mistake and I didn't realize that I was using a acad.dwt templete file. Thanks for you time not sure what to do know?
