Francis Posted February 27, 2020 Posted February 27, 2020 Hi, I've done a CAD drawing A4 and converted it to a PDF file and then scaled it to 1:50 and printed it off, but the scale is slightly off? Instead of being 600mm at 1:50 scale it is 550mm, so annoying. I've tried everything to sort it out but nothing works? I'm sure there's a box or incorrect scale ticked somewhere that is throwing it out, please advise. Regards, Francis Quote
BIGAL Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Plot extents and layout comes to mind as the problem. use plot window and centre and see what happens. Quote
eldon Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Perhaps if you used the DWG to PDF plotter in AutoCAD to set the scale, and then printed out the PDF with no scaling (Actual size), the outcome would be better. Quote
BIGAL Posted March 1, 2020 Posted March 1, 2020 Like Eldon my plot-tiff uses a scale of 0.127 then I know its correct. When plotted to paper it was like 1mm over a line 804mm long. Quote
