How to print a detail with a different scale ?

Hello, I want to print a part at scale 1:1 and a detail at scale 2:1 on the same page. This is similar to 2 viewports in DraftSight with 2 different scale. How do you do that ? I mean apart from scaling the detailed area, addding the dimension (scale 1:1) and manually modify the dimension... Thank you. Fabrice.

printing to 1:87 scale

Hi, I don't know how to fix this problem, but maybe this is a workaround: Suposing you draw at 1:1 scale: Copy the part of the drawing you want to print into another place of the drawing, scale it at the desired scale, then print it at 1:1 HTH Pere

Big drawings on more then one page

I have a bigger drawing that is in 1:1 scale about 3 pages in size. The only way to print all in 1:1 is to move the underlying page and print all separately. Is there a way to say print all and LibreCad checks itself how many pages are necessary and fits itself to the number of needed pages? Thanks Teddy

Can I print a larger drawing with a regular printer (scale 1:1)?

Can I print a larger drawing with a regular printer (Scale 1:1)? The drawing will be printed on several pages, see the following link for an example: http://www.liutaiomottola.com/instruments/wing_files/ChickenWingTiled.pdf Thanks in advance, Broomy

How do I print full size drawing on multiple paper

I figured it out myself. For anyone else who would like to do the same thing, all I did was in Print Preview, I used 1:1 scale. I then just move the paper around and printed.

Line width and large drawing units

Line width determines how the lines look printed, regardless of the scale. I suppose you don't intend to print out in scale 1:1. Switch to Print Preview mode and set your desired scale, if necessary move the sheet to the proper position, and then you can see how it will look like.

How can I calibrate a printer in LibreCAD

okay, attached the dxf-file. Print it out in scale 1:1, take the paper and a mm-ruler and measure the dimensions. If your mm-ruler gives you 190mm and 270mm you are lucky. If not you have the same problem as I have. But you did not realize it as you probably do not need to print exaxt in scale 1:1. I need to print EXACT the dimensions that I draw in LibreCAD. Thank you! 190x270.dxf Harry

No printing under OS X 10.12.2

Hallo everybody, the print preview is displayed correctly, the print manager is displayed, but nothing happens when I click Print. Printing as a pdf creates a blank sheet. The export works as pdf. However, this document is not printed to a scale of 1: 1. But the print settings are set to 100%. What can I do? Bernd PS: LibreCAD 2.1.3

Print and Print-preview scale handling

Is it possible to get the scale presets in a magnification continuum, opening with 1:1 as default ? (and have the selected one automatically printed at the bottom-left corner of the page)

Printing drawings to a specific scale

Hi Jonathan Always draw in 'real life' scale i.e. 1:1 in model space and then when you come to print select the scale you need: In print preview, you can see here that when unchecking the tick box releases other scale options to use. Good luck.

Which printer?

Print preview comes up at first with scale 1:1 and shows nothing. If I change the scale to 1:25 I get a good fit for a drawing which fills an A4 sheet. If you print to file and have pdf, then what are the results. If pdf looks OK, then take print of that PDF. Else send us sample file.

Printing out drawing

forgot something I had scale fixed at 1:1 when I closed When I opened everything looked ok but when I went to print preview the scale had changed to 1:20.981 and was still fixed. When I clicked center to page nothing much happened. When I unclicked fixed and changed the scale to 1:1 the drawing separated from the white background. Drawing info up and white paper? much smaller and lower.
