Issues printing scale drawing

Anonymous · ‎08-01-2020

I create a design with a part that is 120mm by 70mm. I create a drawing linked to the design using 1:1 scale. I add dimensions to verify that the drawing is linked. When I print the drawing to my laser printer, the 120mm dimension measures 115mm. Why is it not printed to scale? There are no printer options dialog presented after clicking on the print icon so I didn't change anything there.

Seem to remember this came up before, try a search of the forum. One thing you could try is save as a PDF then print with acrobat and make sure the scale is set to 100%.

Is printing to a .pdf really the only solution?

From this thread it seems like direct printing needs more work adding the print dialog. So PDF is the only option at the moment.
