Can't print in 1:1 mode in metric!

Anonymous

Hello all,

. . . . I have two different versions of the drawings that I am making. One is in Imperial and the other is in Metric. I can set up the Inches drawing to print in a 1:1 ration. I have not been able to accomplish this with the Metric drawing. Can someone please help me find out what I am doing wrong?

Thanks,

rich!

1. Do not use "fit to paper"

2. change inches to mm

3. change unit to 1

Bruce, Kite,
. . . . It works, Yeah! 🙂 I changed the 0.03937 to 1 in the 'unit' area and it prints as 1:1. I really appreciate all of the help. I wish my books would get here. It looks like on of them are going to be here tomorrow, should I say today, or on Saturday! The other one I don't don't about. They just tell me that it has shipped.
Thanks to both of you,
rich!

I can print your drawing well in 1:1 scale in a PDF.

when I change the plotting unit from inch to mm it just prompt "annotation scale is not same to plot scale" just click continuous.

Then change by hand the scale to 1:1 not 0.039XXXX?

 

you using metric and mm printing, so no need to calculation. 1 to 1 is 1 to 1

See  my attachment about plot settings.
