I am sorry if this question has been asked before, but I couldnt understand what I must do..

I am using Autodesk Inventor 10. After I open a new Standard (mm).ipt page and draw something on it, from corner to corner, when I print it on a4 paper the picture appears only on 3 quarters of the paper(see the first picture.jpg-im sorry for this drawing, but its done in paint with a touchpad-). Is there a way to print it on the whole page-picture 2-? I tried the printing setup and set the page size to a4, tried the 'fit to page' option, but still it prints it only on the top of the a4.

Can I do something so that the sketch itself has the size of an a4? So that it wouldnt let me draw outside the limits of this paper size?

And a second thing, I want to print the drawing on paper which already has the grid printed on it. Any idea on how i can print only what I draw and not also the grid?

Can you, pretty please, tell me what to do?

Thank you for your time!

I have moved your question to the Inventor section so you can get the help you need.

Printing is almost never done from the ipt file (Inventor Part). That is the part modeling environment.
Start an new idw file (Inventor Drawing) and create a view from your ipt and print the idw.
