Re: page size / sheet size image centering @dorin so, your work arounds are just what i've been doing with the exception that I can't find any command for inserting a scale. it doesn't come up when you search scale in the help menu. can you tell me where that is. also, i don't see where you set the border? that is no doubt part of the problem i'm having when i think I have cleaned up around the drawing so there are no elements the would force it onto several pages but it still produces multiple pages when printed to .pdf. And as soon as it thinks it doesn't fit, then, no matter where I put the drawing compared to the origin, it always moves the print to the center of what is drawn and makes me 4 pages. if I could just print setting the origin in one corner of the print then I can adjust the scale of printing or clip off parts of the drawing that are unnecessary, but its amorphous determination of where to center the print drives me crazy. one reason this is frustrating is the building has a first level twice as large as the second level. you can designate scale in the File>Page Setup dialog. and then you can theoretically scale the output to a specified percentrather than to fit in the File>Page Setup>Page Format although my built in and add on "print to .pdf" functions don't always seem to take those instructions. i have tried downloading print drivers for printers with larger paper formats but, unfortunately,I can't choose them if the printer is not actually on the network. As you point out, if you don't have an oversize printer then your output options (even if you are saving as .pdf) are limited to letter size. that is something that I would imagine could be fixed as there are page setup options in sweet home and nevermind tabloid, there ought to be ARCH C, D and E. I know part of this has to do with interacting with different OS and the solution for Mac is probably different than for PC. Maybe this is more difficult to accomplish than I imagine. thanks for your ideas and any info on how to insert scale and reduce borders. brian |
