Drawing in pdf smaller than model

[Anonymous]

Hello,

I am a beginner with Autocad and I have some problems with plotting/exporting/printing dwg to pdf, because the outcome is always a bit smaller than the drawing in model space. I matched plot and annotation scale, but it didn't work. Units also match...

I really don't know what to do and I tried multiple 'solutions'.

Thank you!

Hi,

>>  because the outcome is always a bit smaller than the drawing in model space. << 

how much smaller ? and how did you know that is smaller than the drawing in model space.?

you have to check and make sure that you use proper plot scale in plot dialog that fit also to the paper size.

Thank you so much for the answer.

I printed the pdf drawing first and measured it and it was 2 mm smaller than it should be. I printed in 1:10.

I also tried printing directly from Autocad and all the measures are correct.

Can you please check print screen of my plot settings

Thank you!

I wonder if in your PDF Viewer's printing pop-up, you are allowing the program to rescale the print: or are you measuring the pdf in another program?
Post a screenshot of that pop-up from your pdf viewer if this is a paper print you did nad measured from.

Thank you so much.

I downloaded Adobe Acrobat Pro and set A4 borderless and it worked.
