Viewport in AutoCAD Architecture not matching printed PDF

[BBP-Arch]

ACA 2016

Got a weird thing w/ viewports. The viewport on the sheet and the printed PDF are not the same...it's as if the viewport has moved in the print. Take a look at the attached screenshot of the sheet in ACAD and the resulting PDF. They're off. We wind up having to stretch the viewport as a guess to where it will print to make it line up correctly. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's happened a few times recently on different jobs.

Anyone know what causes this?

Simular problem was with my file. It was some thing wrong with file. Try to copy content of file to the new one with standart auocad template- model

Hi @BBP-Arch,

I'm just checking in to see if you need more help with this. Did the suggestion that @brian_adams provided work for you?

If not, would you be able to upload the file? We'd be happy to take a look at it for you. There are also some helpful plotting tips in this article about Exporting PDFs.

I hope this helps!

Difficult to diagnose without the DWG file.
