Help with Page Set-Up needed

[pika_pika_pika]

Hi,

 

I am on a Mac OX Sierra 10.12.6 using Vectorworks Fundamentals 2014. I've started experiencing problems with Page Set-Up. My printer is set to A4 (297 x 210mm) as standard. In Vectorworks, when setting up my page to print, in the Page Setup dialogue box the page's width and height are set to horizontal 1 and vertical,  but showing 276.2 x 197.2mm under "Printable Area"  - a lot smaller than A4. When I try correcting the Printable Area to 297 x 210 (or just under), the values under "Pages" change to more than 1, resulting in multiple pages, see screen shots below. What is going on and how can I get the printable area to A4 printing on a single page?

You should be able to override that pretty easily with these steps (the Mac section):

Experiencing the same bug (which I'd rather not have to override in the next SP):

Its related to how the printer definites it's page sizes on Mac, setting it to Custom lets you control it rather than rely on the defaults. You almost always want to be overriding the defaults because they sometimes have arbitrary margins.

If you set it to "Any Printer" you can make your own defaults and then never worry about the specifics when going from printer to printer.

Something is corrupt in that file because a fresh file gives me this (as it should):

Thank you Jim - sorry for not responding earlier, I've just not had time! I'll be having a play with this up over the weekend - I think it will work, remember having done something similar in the past and could not remember it. Thanks again!
