How to print autocad drawing to scale

It's back to my 2D CAD for some printing sanity on this project. I say, 'around' as the decimal part was a little different, but all three agreed on the 59. The PDF viewers I tried, including one in Windows all showed the current size as save from FC at around 59.2767% Not sure about your PDF viewer(s), but none of the three I have tried, will convert that to a true 1:1. I actually started with the PDF approach as the off-line PC also has no access to the printer, so the PDF was the only option. If it does getting this PDF printed at 1:1 scale isn't related to FreeCAD anymore. The FC on this PC is the Appimage version and I cannot seem to get it to install the DXF thing. Tried saving as SVG as suggested and just looking at it i Image Viewer, it had the holes everywhere but the right places.Ĭan't export to DXF as that PC doesn't have the Plug-in and that computer is not online. I can't seem to get anything to work for a 1:1 print. I need to compare some holes I have reverse engineered from a badly torn gasket. Searching returned many discussions on the issue around 2013.
