When I export a drawing in PDF then print on sheet size B (or any matching sheet size). I check it with the scale ruler and it does not match. It seems like everything shrinks slightly. Is their a solution to this?

Hello @I_K_H_ ,

 

what is the shrink percentage you are seeing ? 

Suppose you have a 100 mm length and you have used a 1:1 scale and measure with a ruler what is the % it is shrinking? 

There can be slight shrink based on the printer may be.

Hi,

You must deactivate the “Fit to paper” option in the PDF print menu under Scaling and activate “real size”.
