Printing Drawing at one to one

Post by Soapyjoe »

Hi Everybody Happy New Year,

I wish to do a drawing of some quite simple parts at one to one

My printer is a bog standard A4 printer.

You have to use the export as PDF option (File Menu/Export/PDF) to create a PDF file that you can then print as exact scale using a PDF program such as Acrobat. Select all the vectors you want to print before exporting. The inbuilt print function in Aspire is not intended to print to scale.

Thanks Adrian,

I had attempted to print at one to one via Aspire with little or no success.
Thanks to your valued help I can now do just that.
Great help!
