ok I changed the size to that post above
the image got really small on my screen
but when I go to print preview it still fits on the paper and prints the correct size
maybe that is good?, I sent the file to the machinist so I will see tomorrow if it will open correctly on his end

Re: Super Tiny Image
but if I am to use him again for projects it would be nice to have my file work so he wont have to use his time to draw up projects There are no arbitrary errors in such conversions. He very likely simply interpreted one millimeter as one inch which makes the whole drawing 229 inches wide (= more t...

Re: Super Tiny Image
ok I will try that here

Re: Super Tiny Image
ok he seemed to only know how to do a few things in solid works so maybe some setting was wrong on his end I did give him the paper copy and he said he will just re enter all the sizes and do it manually but if I am to use him again for projects it would be nice to have my file work so he wont have ...
