Strange numbers for Pages in Page Setup

[Mark Taylor]

My page in Vectorworks is set to 12X18 (ArchB).

My paper on my printer is set to 12x18.

In "Page Setup" under "Pages" there are:

1.0178 horizontal

1.0229 vertical

Why would these be anything except 1?

Thanks,

Here is a confusing piece of data. If I choose "Page Setup" from editing a sheet layer then the "Pages" entry is indeed

1 horizontal

1 vertical

As I would expect.

Why?

This can happen if the page size picked has margins added to it. Page settings are stored separately for Sheet layers and Design layers, but you can create custom margin-less paper sizes via these steps if your printer is forcing them:

Thanks, this seems to be working.

I can't get this to work. I very, very simply want to snap the sheet border to the actual sheet. It is, afterall, a SHEET border, not a MARGIN border. My sheet border is custom designed for the sheet not the margin.

I'm using Arch B 12x18 paper and if I choose borderless printing I can no longer choose a custom size. However, borderless does solve the problem for the standard 8-1/2" x 11" paper.

Is there a way to get this aligned in a rational way? I don't mind having the print area displayed, but I sure don't want it to have any control.

If I use Adobe PDF as my printer then I get results that more or less make sense. I can choose Arch B 12x18 paper and only one vertical and one horizontal pages. Perhaps my printer is part of the problem. However, if I could design to the sheet and ditch the margins I could make this work on any printer.
