How can I have 1:1 print?

How can I have 1:1 print?

How can I have 1:1 print?

(OP)
Hi,

I am new user of Solid Edge. I have SE version 19. My work requires to draw simple 2D drawings, which I can draw easily on Solid Edge sheets. I can print the current display or print area from sheets, which are obviously not according to the true scale of physical items.
I need to know how can I print my 2-D drawings on 1:1 scale?

Thanks
 

RE: How can I have 1:1 print?

Is your geometry bigger than your sheet size?  If so, change the sheet size under File-Sheet Setup so that it is larger than the geometry.  Then print Active Sheet and make sure your printer paper size matches the Solid Edge sheet size.

RE: How can I have 1:1 print?

Sounds like you should be using the model sheet to do your actual geometry creation.

You can then pick the appropriate sheet size format, create the appropriate views at 1:1 (or other scales as need be) and dimension there.

Basically it allows you to create views from 2D information, not just 3D model.

If you literally just need a 1:1 printout of a sketch do print area, when the box comes up set paper length equal to design length (i.e. to 1).  This will then print out the selected area 1:1.  I can't remember what it does if the design area is too big for the paper selected.

KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...

I got it, it works for smaller geometry on letter size paper on standard printer and I suppose it will work too on plotter for larger geometry.
