I I got it correctly, a"Windowed" printing mode is suitable here. In printer toolbar, we should add a way to control a rectangle to be printed.
1, user specify final scaling, for example, 1:50
2, user specify what portion to be printed, for example, centered (10., 10.) width=5, height=4
Implementation:
1. set temporary offset to get page centered;
2. set pageRect of QPrinter to avoid printing out of user specified rect;

Hello,
(I did not find my solution precise on others of the issues, sorry if I missed it…)
I now drew my new house, and I am happy with the result.
Now: I want to print it, for a A3 format (using a virtual pdf printer ) to obtain a final scale to 1:50.
Because my drawing is very big (800x900 cm!) I am apparently linked to print it with the option “centering in the sheet”.

I tried to draw a big rectangle (bigger than my house) around my drawing, and to modify its size but the printed drawing is each time bigger or smaller than it should be.
How can I do ?
Thank you!
