P Retondo Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 David, did that answer your question? The first step to take is to create a 1:1 viewport of your design. So if you have a 1" square, it will scale as a 1" square on the sheet. Then, you have the problem addressed above, which is whether the printer is going to process the scaling properly. Usually I have to slightly tweak things if the printer's x and y axes are not properly calibrated, even after getting the page settings and printer settings to be correct. Quote Link to comment
