Print to scale in eDrawings 2 SP3

Print to scale in eDrawings 2 SP3

Print to scale in eDrawings 2 SP3

(OP)
I have the problem that whatever I do, an eDrawing cannot be printed to the exact scale. We need a exact scale drawing for our production departement. If I try to set the plotter and the print settings in eDrawings to exact scale, the plotter never gives a good print.

Do more people have this problem? Maybe you know a solution?

RE: Print to scale in eDrawings 2 SP3

Do you have 'print to fit' or 'print 100%' selected in the page setup menu?
Does the same thing happen when you print to 100% in SWorks instead of Edrawings?
Check the printer setup and be sure your sheet fits inside the mechanical margin limits of the printer. I may be scaling to force the graphics to fit the printable area.

I tried every possible setting of our plotter driver. It plots perfectly from SolidWorks, but not from eDrawings. I guess if other peolpe can plot to scale from eDrawings the problem must be in our plotter driver or configuration.
