Plot 1:1 in mm does not result in 1:1 drawing, Fault factor is 4 to 5 smaller...

[Anonymous]

Units in drawing is in mm and decimal (seems all OK).

Want to print it 1:1.

Result is 4 to 5 times smaller.

Notes:

Drawing is around 120% bigger than the size of the paper. But than I'd like to print it in two times.

Show your plot dialog. How did you plot? by window or ....

Hi,

first please you should use layouts to plot, this would give you the display of how big your paper is and how your geometry looks like on the paper.

From your drawing it looks like you are plotting from modelspace and you try to plot your geometry (which is much bigger than A4 page size) to A4 with setting "Fit to paper" ... which means: scale the geometry so small to fit on the paper, therefor you don't get a 1:1 plot.

Workflow should be to create a layout, specify e.g. A0 as the page format, place position your viewport so it fits to your A0 format and assign 1:1 as scale to your viewport ... as shown in the attached file.
