Printing 1:1 scale draft
Printing 1:1 scale draft
(OP)
Hey guys. I'm having trouble printing an exact 1:1 scale document which I created in the drafting environment. It's a small image, about 200mm x 90mm and I want it printed on a A4 size paper. If someone could help me out, it would be much appreciated.

50x25 extrusion, in to a draft, scaled 1:1, print on A4 comes out at 49.95 x 25.15 on paper, which is close for printing. Take in to account that this was printed on a basic LaserJet 1020

Set it to 'Manual Scale' and 1:1
Karmoh - how did you measure to that accuracy on a print?
The lines are thicker than that!

Your right line thickness does play a part.
Firstly I measured with digital calipers and a magnifier, and then as an experiment I used an old profile projector (shadowgraph) that I have in my shop, not a bad result considering.......

Have you now removed the 'Do Not Scale' note from your drawings?
