    Default print as real size

    Registered forum members do not see this ad.

    I am having problems with the scale that I draw and the way the print out is different. I want to make sure that all my models created in the model space will have the actual same dimensions when I print them out.

    Let's say I draw a square that is 20X20mm, is there any way that the square I printed out will be also 20X20mm measured by the ruler?

    Thank you for any guideline.

    you need to print from PAPERSPACE, which is usually the "Layout1" tab.

    open the Properties box for the viewport, and rescale it 1:1, plot, and you're done. ;-)

    If you do a search for scale you will find trillions of answers all explaining just what you want to know. Styk is right, you need to use paper space to achieve what you want.
