Page size is not correct according to settings?


Endre Torkildsen

Question

I have a strange problem I havent had before.

When i set my settings to page size A3, the page will not update to the correct size..

When my settings shows A3 420 x 297mm, the page is actually 525 x 371mm..


Someone have some tips? 

I havent started this file, and i have not tried to copy all to a black file..

Just seems a bit to much work, just to have the sheet-pdf to be correct..

Posting this here for possible future reference by others.

 

It appears that somehow you got an extra scaling factor set on these sheet layers.

 

When you click the Printer Setup button from the Page Setup dialog box there are two places you can put an additional scale factor.

 

The Printer Setup dialog box (which has a title of Page Setup) has a scale factor there

If you then click and hold on the Page Attributes there is another option called Vectorworks.  You can enter another scale factor there. It appears that all of your sheet layers have that set to 80% which is making your paper size larger than you want.

If all the sheet layers are supposed to be the same size, you can select them all in the Navigation Palette or the Organization Dialog Box and do Page Setup for all of them at once and set the Vectorworks Scaling back to 100%

 

The 80% Vectorworks Scaling is also set for the Design Layers, but DL share a single Page Setup so you only have to change it once for those.

 

Ask again if you have more questions.

 

HTH.
