Re: page size / sheet size image centering This means that in the preferences of Sweet Home 3D you can alternatively choose to select a printer (the PDF one you installed) instead of using the option "Print to PDF". Very interesting. The following is a Win10 story with CutePDF installed. I:
in SH3D Page setup (Ctrl+Shift+P) - format size A0 (i.e. 841 mm x 1,189 mm) was not available so I simply chose size A4, scale 1/10. in SH3D Print (Ctrl+P) I changed from the pre-selected hardware printer to CutePDF then selected "properties" followed by Advanced" and selected ISO A0 from the drop down list. Having printed this I think I was expecting to open the created pdf in Firefox as a single page - but it appeared across 10 pages (which I now assume were 10 number A4). I subsequently selected SH3D Page setup (Ctrl+Shift+P) again (still Scale 1/10) and this time ISO A0 was available having pressed the Page Format radio button (I also changed all margin settings to 0mm/Landscape). I then chose "Print to PDF" from the SH3D File menu. This time, on viewing the created file within Firefox (with "Actual size" or "Automatic zoom" or any other Firefox zoom setting selected) a single page is viewable. To be sure, am I correct to imagine that if I sent this pdf to someone with an A0 physical printer that (assuming they printed as "actual size") a 1 metre physical ruler laid along the wall would have the same size as the wall on paper? |
