plot / print to scale
plot / print to scale
(OP)
Sorry folks, but this simple task has me stumped!
I'm trying to print to scale, easy I hear you all shout!
Everytime I print, (and my print needs to be a 1:1 or a 10:1 accurate print),
the scale is not correct, it seems to be driven from the screen display.
IE:- If I zoom the screen display slightly the print scale changes completely.
I do all the normal stuff to print, such as print > scale > landscape > etc > etc
What on earth am I doing wrong?
Cheers in advance.

I have had a good go at what you suggest but I have no plotter to select to print to,
How do I set this up ?
Cheers

Is there a way to print to .pdf directly in NX3? I have not been able to find this option anywhere in the printing or plotting menus.

Set up a PostScript printer/plotter, then print to file. This will output a .ps file that you can open with Acrobat Distiller if you have it or you can use Ghostscript/Ghostview for free to convert the .ps to .pdf.
