issues exporting to pdf - paper size

joeb
This post was updated on .
mwin2.dxf

version - 2.0.7
Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS

New user to librecad.

paper size - custom 29"x29"
Units - Inches
Drawing size 26.125" x 26.125"

When I export to PDF (for printing), the paper size gets exported as 736.60" x 736.60"

Also, when I do Print Preview, then set the scale to 1:1, it also looks like it is 736"x736"

Am I doing something wrong? E Size works and exports correctly. Custom is derped.  Guess I can print it on E but it's just going to waste a lot of paper and be more expensive.

I can reproduce this bug.

Should be able to fix it quickly.

I feel this is a regression.

pushed a fix in master branch: https://github.com/LibreCAD/LibreCAD/commit/b6b97eaa75b8fdefa851d605a924dbbf7258de57

This should fix the paper size by main menu: File -> Export as PDF

Custom papersize printing for inches format only works reliably with a recent 2.2.0 rc version, which is not available for Linux as a compiled package ready for end users.
