This question must have been raised several times before: How can I make a print-out in actual size in Cut2D desktop. I have tried to make the work the same size as the printed page i.e. A3. It doesn't work.

Hi Lars,

This will be addressed in future versions of the software. In the meantime, you may export the vectors from Cut2D (I think), then import and print them at actual size in other programs (such as CorelDRAW, InkScape, Illustrator and others).

That's what I suspected. I have only access to iDraw/Graphics and it does not accept this particular brand of SVG file!!!!!!!!
Please work hard on the update. It is very inconvenient not to be able to print to scale.

P.S. is it the same with the other models of the VECTRIC software i. e. Aspire etc?

Yes it's the same for all the Vectric products. When the Print function was launched Vectric made it very clear that it would not print to scale and wasn't intended to.

Does iDraw only support SVG? I would have thought EPS/AI would be supported as well.
