Dimensions and Printout

Harald_LibreCAD
Good day to all,
I am new here and my name is Harald Zimmermann.

LibreCAD version: 2.2.0.2
Compiler: GNU GCC 13.1.0
Created on: Jul 29 2023
Qt version: 5.12.11
Boost version: 1.75.0
System: Windows 10 (10.0)

I am using LibreCAD to map the growing beds in my field. That means I have dimensions that currently cover about 32 meters.
Something about the scales I don't seem to have gotten right yet. In dimensioning, I would like to have meters displayed, but cm are displayed.
In the print preview everything is displayed, but with the scale in the print preview I can't influence the size of the printout.
The print preview is also not completely transferred to the Pdf file, the outer dimensions are not printed.
What do I have to change so that the print preview is printed completely?
And how can I cause meters to be displayed instead of cm?

I would have liked to attach the dxf file, but only pixel formats can be uploaded, hmm?

Kind regards Harald
Aufriss Acker

Displaying meters: Units are set in Options - Current Drawing Preferences - Units. If you change from mm to m you have to scale down the drawing by factor 0.001. It doesn't happen automatically. Or draw in m from the beginning.
You do influence the scale of the printout in Print Preview. But you also have to consider the size of the printing paper. Also set in Options - Current Drawing Preferences.
If you tell me the intended print format and scale I can provide a sample file.
You should be able to upload a dxf file with More v -  Upload a file.

Here a sample file for A4 meters 1:50  arch_m_50_a4_uebung_v22.dxf

Wir können auch deutsch reden.

Hallo Dellus,
ja deutsch wäre  mir schon lieber ;-)
Hier ist die Datei, um die es sich dreht.
HG_Acker_2023.dxf

Kannst Du bitte mal vesuchen, ob sich bei Dir etwas ändert?
Ich habe versucht alles was Du geschrieben hast, umzusetzen aber nix tut sich, hmm?

LG Harald

Hier mal umgebaut auf Meter: HG_Acker_2023mod1.dxf
Passt also auch in 1:100 nicht auf A4. Also größeres Format oder kleinerer Maßstab. Sehen wir mal weiter.
Ich gehe jetzt aber aus dem Haus.
