problem printing to scale
Posted: Fri Apr 20, 2012 11:18 am
Hi folks,
I need to print mechanical CAD drawing to scale.
I'm trying to assess if QCAD is OK for my task...
I have a simple benchmark to test this: I use a dxf with a rectangle of 200mmx280mm and I try to print it on A4 paper.
When I print throught QCAD, result are wrong: my rectangle is printed with a size of 198mmx279mm which is unacceptable.
I mesure it with multiple rulers and print it on multiple printers so I guess the problem is really QCAD related...
Any idea?
Thank you in advance,
Zog
FYI, I'm using
- qcad_2_2_2_0_demo_win32.exe
- Windows 7 64bits professional
- samsung CL320 printer
- Xerox WorkCentre 5645 PS printer
