thanks mk that works.....but still wondering where the 50% VW scale came from and if there is a way to set this to 100%. sarah

OK here is the file. I am trying to print a full size sheet (24x36) I went ahead and moved everything to a fresh file with the vector works page setup set to 100%, so not worried, but something seems wrong. Sarah

I didnt know it was there either...until it became a problem. I went through some of my older drawing files (drawn in PC vectorworks 2009) and some are set to 200%, 50%, most to 100%. none can be changed at this point. No idea what would happen if I opened the files on a PC. Im not sure I had this setting on my PC version. I found this setting in VW help files and they seem to think it works. -Sarah

I am new to mac....I am wondering if there is some special way I am supposed to click on the box with 50% to edit the number. I might have been hallucinating, but I thought I got it to edit when I opened a different file....but then I couldn't get this to repeat on any files.

ok here is the screen shot.

how do I take a screen shot? I took a screen shot, but can figure out how to post the image from my desktop. [img:center]http:// Screen Shot 2011-08-19 at 4.39.20 PM.png[/img]

file- page setup- printer setup - settings - vectorworks - scaling for some reason it is set to 50% and I cannot switch it back to 100%. I can see the setting, but can't change it for some reason. This is driving me MAD! Please let me know if there is something that I am doing wrong.

Vectorworks print setting is set to 50% and I cannot change this setting. Please help.

I cant change the vectorworks print setting s from 50% HOW DO I CHNAGE THIS SETTING? it wont let me change it arggg

I am using VW architect 2011 on mac book (Lion OS) I have just spent the last half hour trying to print my plan set. For some reason the print window is 2x as big as I tell it to be. driving me CRAZY any thought would be appreciated. thanks sarah

Update: I tried dominics suggestion again and it appears that when I tried to change many lines to class atributes in bulk it didn't work. This DID work on one small line....so I think I am good to go, except that I need to figure out why my change of attributes didn't work the first time. THanks! Sarah

Thanks Dominic, I did that....still no luck

Thanks Peter, Still wont work for me. I have a class called "old walls" in the document class list I have "use at creation" checked. I go to properties for my viewport and change the class line properties. What looks like a blue crop window appears around this class source icon. I click preview and nothing changes. I click OK and nothing changes. I tried checking class overrides and class visibilities on that page...no luck. What am I missing? Thanks again. Sarah

I am trying to make my wall layer appear dashed on my foundation plan. I have followed the instructions in vw help, but it is not working. Suggestions? Thanks- sd

Thank you Helenb. Ill try it.
