gsoler scale issue

gsoler · Postby **gsoler** » Fri Jan 13, 2017 7:45 pm

I'm having problems with this,
after updating to 0.92

Having a document created in v.0.91

Using mm
and print for 120mm prints out as 114mm

Scale seems to be: 2,83465
But, I have no clue about what that is.

What is the corrects setting to get this right?

Maybe I should just downgrade?

Best start would be to share an example file.

Scaling issues might be easier handled in 0.92, since it has the tools in the image properties panel.

Did you have a custom default.svg?

No default.svg

Exported to pdf and printed from Acrobate Reader.
Then all was printed exactly as I wanted it.

Is this a typical problem for print on Windows?

Made a new document, printed 100x100mm
and printed fine.
Scale was then 1 (and that makes sense).

So hopefully things will work for new documents.

Tried my original document,
set to scale =1
That was totally wrong (way to big print)

File is to large to attach

This is the document-settings, that gives print 114:120 ratio

I'd try the document scale extension menu : Document > Dpi >90 to 96 dpi.

Good idea.

Scale now shows 3,02362,
print-size is same 114:120

Tried the other way as well.

So, didn't seem to fix it.

Setting scale=1

Select all and set exact dimensions.
Still 114:120

I suggest sharing the file via link on google drive or dropbox. Can only guess poorly without a file example.

Ok, here is a size-reduced file

Thanks!

I set up the document to 8.5x11 inches (I'm in the US) and set the scale to 96 user units per in. The print was the right size (120x240 mm)

It seems viewbox controls scale and page controls viewbox, so all need to be in order to print correct scale.

Just my first test, so YMMV.
