weld note printing scale issue

Anonymous — Fri, 25 Aug 2017 18:56:50 GMT

I have an issue with the weld note (dynamic block) is printing at the wrong scale in paper space. This only happens when I batch plot a set. If I print each sheet individually, they print correctly. This also only happens to this specific block. All the other blocks print correctly. I will add a screenshot of what I'm saying to give a better idea.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

P.S.: This is in AutoCAD 2018 for Windows.

HI @Anonymous

Is your AutoCAD 2018 fully up-to-date? Please check for updates on your account page.

Can you attach a sample file for me to try on my computer? I would like to see if I can narrow down what might be happening.

Hello John.

I'm attaching a sample file for reference, however this is happening to any file where I have weld notes dynamic blocks.

When I view the layout, it shows normal, however when I print, I see the scales all off for these dynamic blocks.

Thanks for your help!
