Jack A Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I have been creating a standard template for use in our office. Somewhere in my editing this file, the print scale changed such that 1/4" scale prints as 1/8" scale, 1/8" scale prints as 1/16" scale, and so forth. Under the print dialogue box, the scaling is set to 100%, so this does not seem to be the problem. If I create a new file not using the template, I do not have this problem. Does anyone know how I might fix this without having to start over? VW12 Architect OSX 10.4.5 Quote Link to comment
islandmon Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 If you're printing from a Viewport, then set the scale of the VP via the OIP. Otherwise, make certain the layer scale is correct. First, print to PDF preview, and check the scale. Quote Link to comment
Jack A Posted March 14, 2006 Author Share Posted March 14, 2006 I am not using Viewports and the layer scale is correct. Quote Link to comment
mike m oz Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 In your printer Page Setup check to see if you have Scale set to 50%. This will cause the drawing to print out at half size. Setting it to 100% will fix the problem. Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 There is also a scale setting in the Page Setup -> Printer Setup... button -> Settings -> VW12. Is it set to 100%? Quote Link to comment
RGyori Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 I'm not sure if this is relevant, however I went through a similar problem yesterday. In my case I had used the Modify menu's "Scale Objects..." command during the drawing process and had neglected to uncheck the "Entire Drawing" box. Until I had figured this out my entire drawing including dimensions, notes, etc. where the wrong size though the dimensions still read the correctly. I hope this helps. Bob Quote Link to comment
Jack A Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 MullinRJ ... that worked! I was going to Page Setup -> Printer Setup... button -> Settings -> Page Attributes. The scale was reading 100% in this dialogue box. When I checked, the under the 'VectorWorks' dropdown, it was reading 50%. Why are there two places to change the output scale? I cannot see an obvious reason for this. thanks Jack Quote Link to comment
MullinRJ Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I have no idea why there are 2 scale settings. I just poked around the Page Setup box after reading your post and found the other scale setting. Before that, I had no idea it was there. I'm sure there is a reason for it and we may find it useful someday. Glad I could help. Raymond Quote Link to comment
