I have just now discovered that my printed drawings are stretched slightly horizontally but not vertically. As an example:
I draw a rectangle that is 36 ft wide by 32 ft high.
I print this drawing on a 13 x 19 sheet on a HP 1220c printer and when I scale the actual printed drawing the 32ft vertical will measure correctly but the 36 ft horizontal will measure 35'-9"....losing 3" somehow. The error is the same printing from a design layer or a sheet layer. Scaling on the monitor with the tape measure tool measures correctly.
Can someone enlighten me as to the to source of the problem and it's solution? Thanks, Bradley
