Libra cad settings for printer/drawing
When preparing to print I cannot find anywhere a means of getting printer settings and drawing settings to agree. the S/W keeps arbitrarily changing the settings
In order to create and print an accurate drawing is is essential that the creator have control of the settings
Furthermore L/C does not allow separate corrections for X and Y
If I draw a horizontal line 10" long it prints a lINE 9.9 INCHES LONG
If the line is vertical at 7.5" the line prints a bit longer.
IT IS NOT  PRINTER PROBLEM !!!!
With a small correction in deltacad the line at 18" is within a very few thousands. The previous software (Draft Choice) was accurate as well.
Can someone shed someone shed some light on this?
Thanks for your time
Bob

ps I have combed through the documentation to no avail.
pps I would pay a reasonable amount for SW that works - but none of the half dozen I have tried will allow me to perform all the necessary tests.
ppps I only want to change because DeltaCad is no longer available.

I do not know what happened nor what I might have done but I now get a perfect 10" printed line for a drawn 10" line.
YIPPEE ! ! !
