Revit not printing to scale...why is this even an issue?

For some, printing to scale must come as a natural talent... I thought I was in that group, but apparently, I'm just another loose nut behind the keyboard...

 

I have created a set of drawings.. each view has a scale associated with it, most are just 1/4" = 1'-0".  I select a sheet size, and drag the drawing onto the sheet.  When I go to print as a pdf, I can hit control P, or click the print button..makes not difference... my results have been the same.  Open the pdf printer, and select the size paper to match my sheet size... and print.. Now, my expectation is that when I print that pdf to a plotter, it will be to scale... I was wrong.  What am I missing?  I dont have access to a plotter of my own so I take my file either to Fed ex, or a local architectural print shop.. my results at both venues have been the same.. not to scale.  Again...what am I missing?

Did you choose print to 100% or print to fit in Revit?

I just figured it out... my mistake for sure.. chaulk it up to just being new to producing drawings in Revit... I selected the wrong size sheet in the pdf properties tab.. I was using ARCH D instead of ANSI D... and I wasnt catching it...

 

thank you....

Pick the correct sheet size AND choose print to 100%.

Look at that! A complaint that solved itself.

Drafting is a breeze and Revit doesn't always work the way you think it should.

Its impossible to say just off of this screen shot. How big is your sheet in Revit? My thought is, if your sheet size really is set correctly, is that your sheet in Revit isn't the right size.
