Printing Drawing in Personal subscription

I am trying to print a drawing that was from my design to a scale of 1:1. Unfortunately the printed drawing was smaller that the model , I had set to a 1:1 on the drawing. Is there setting I can change to make sure its printed correctly. On the Fusion Help page it talks about fit to page but you do not get any printer options when you press print. You cannot produce a PDF in the personal version.

There is a long running thread here, not sure if there's a workaround in it. My thought would be print to a PDF printer driver set to the same size paper then print to your printer using acrobat set to actual size.

Thanks Mark for the quick reply. I run Fusion on a Mac and normally when you ask to print you get the option to produce a PDF instead of actually sending to the printer but sadly Fusion doesn't go to that option.

 

I will see if I can download a PDF printer driver and see what happens. 

Sadly I used the drawing the make a component because the 3D printed version was to delicate and broke. Spent 2 days in the workshop to find it was to small!! still my fault for not checking before starting.

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.
