My friend asked to help him with this problem. His drawing printed was wrongly scaled in one direction. Paper A4. Lets say he has a drawn a rectangle 20x15 cm. He printed it out on an A4 paper, and when he measured it on paper, the rectangle was 15 x 19,9 cm. Weird, isn't it? It scaled allong one axis (the one along the longer side of papaer). So I told him to mail me the file and wanted to help him find a solution. Wasn't successful. But not only that, I noticed that since than, the same thing is happening to me, but not only in that drawing but in every other drawing too. I never noticed this before. He is using Autocad 2014, and Im using Autocad Architectural 2013. His printer is a Cannon Pixma ip150, mine is Hp deskjet 1510. I tried printing to pdf, and than mesasured in photoshop and it was fine, so it should be the printer, right? But I printed this on another 2 printers and got the same error. Are all 4 printers wrongly calibrated? How do you calibrate a printer anyway? Has anyone had the same issues? I won't upload any file since it happens to all my drawings.
Thanks
