Bidgee Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Hi All, I'm having trouble printing a full page, I select window, the pick what I want, I preview it, its what I want, but then only prints abit over half of what I want. Any ideas? Is this a Auto Cad setting problem, or maybe printer? Works fine on A4, but not on A3. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGAL Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 We have a printer that is a pain you must externally sometimes tell it what the sheet size is and what Bin to get the paper from or else we end up with an A4 on a A3. Double check the properties of the printer, we have learnt and know how to get around by changing the properties within the Autocad plot for the specific printer.

ReMark Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Since you are using the Window option are you also enabling "Print to fit" under Plot Scale? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bidgee Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Thanks, Yes the fit to paper is selected and all paper sizes are correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIGAL Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 As I said in my 1st post check outside of Autocad, Windows Devices and Printers check that the default printer settings are set to a A3 not A4 the default will over ride Autocad sometimes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Duncan Posted October 27, 2022 Share Posted October 27, 2022 I think there may be a software problem when printing to PDF in Autocad 2022. It's not about the settings. More often than not the print gets cropped. Usually after the seconf or third go at printing the same page with the same settings. Successful the first one or two prints but then reverts to partial prints. Close and reopen is one fix but propper pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
