Help with Drawings printing correctly.

Sean3073 — Fri, 02 Feb 2024 21:28:31 GMT

After a Fusion update, (I believe) some how when I print a drawing it is now shifted all the way to the right on the paper. See picture.

Any ideas? It never use to do this and I have not changed anything.

If you also notice it removed the NE view, top right corner.

I've moved this thread to the Design forum, as the folks here would know more about the Drawing side of things.

If you are using the Print routine in Fusion, then you if you are not printing to a particular scale, then select "Fit to Paper" option. If you are using a scale, then select your scale and enter the needed "Offset" values below the Scale box.

Mine is fit to paper. I have edited this tread to show the picture.

Well, did you select the "Fit to Paper" option, you did not say? If you did, please show a screen capture of the results, not from the dialog box but from an actual final print.

I used this function this morning three times, Fit to Paper, and it printing centered perfectly.

To be perfectly clear, it has always been "Fit to print". I have never changed it. It reads fit to print currently.

When physically printing, the piece of paper that is printed, everything is shifted right.

I have printed it again and attached the picture.

Then the last thing I will suggest. Since it works perfectly for me, I would suggest you look into calibrating your printer.

I print quite a few pages a day, they are all correct except for Fusion Drawing printed from the dialog box. I can even export as PDF, and then print. That works correctly. There is some setting that has shifted between Fusion and to my printer. Word, Excel, PDF, multiple image editing software platforms all print correctly. I only have this problem when for a lack of better words in Fusion, going to what most software's consider File then selecting print.

I appreciate you trying to help. Hopefully someone has ran into this and knows a possible solution.

So I figured it out. The box of paper I put in my printer said A4, so I had selected A4. When in reality here in the US it's Letter size. US sizes are based on the imperial system, so 'Letter' size is 8.5 by 11 inches, whereas the equivalent A4 size in inches is 8.27 by 11.7 inches. Honestly, I thought they were the same size. Thank you for all those who tried to help.
