Is there a "Fit to page" print option?

Post by BAJ » Tue Feb 25, 2014 7:54 pm

Hello,

I'm new to QCAD so I apologize if this is a n00b question.

I searched the forum here and found several references to doing a fit to page for printing, but was unable to find that as a specific option in QCAD v3.3. Under Edit-Drawing Preferences-Printing: Page there's a Viewport option for scale, but these are fixed settings (1" = 1", 1" = 4", etc).

Does the "Fit to Page" option exist somewhere? Or can a custom print scaling be specified? I currently stuck between 1"=2" (too big) and 1"=4" (too small).

Thanks,
-Brad

It's one of the buttons in the toolbar at the top in the print preview. Please check the button tool tips (I'm not on my desktop computer at the moment).

There we go! I see that you can also hand-enter a number (including decimal) in the scale drop-down control to fine-tune the scaling, that's handy!

Thanks,
