Is it possible to print to Super B paper size

  • Is there a way in Fusion 360 to print to other standard paper sizes besides those offered in the create drawing "Standard" drop-down menu? 
    I have a Canon i8700 printer that can print to a maximum size of 19" x 13", which I purchase from Staples (Hammermill Premium Color Copy 19" x 13").  This size is often labeled as "B Plus" or "Super B" (ANSI B size with a 1-inch margin)  (or 483mm x 330 mm)  and apparently sometimes called A3+ or Super A3 in some countries.   As it stands I can only print to smaller paper sizes, limited by the software of Fusion 360. 

I use the 1:1 drawing prints as stencils for my modeling and design manufacture.  

I selected this printer for its paper size.  To go larger would require a much more sophisticated printer and much more expensive. 

Why not just allow adjustments at the software level to work with my hardware?

Hi @manliffk-inbox 

 

This is an area that we plan to improve. Have a look at our public roadmap https://bit.ly/2DRoadMapFusion, you'll see we have some plans to work on printing.

 

In the meantime, I have written an article explaining how printing works at the moment, and what your options are for scaling your prints.

Today we shipped improved printing options, you now have control over the scale of your prints, and we have options for offsets etc.

 

Please give it a try once you have updated to the latest version. We'd love your feedback.
