![]() ![]() The image measurement 100 appears in the percentage box. Select an option: No Scaling: This option does not change the size of the printed image. Click on the Paper, and then select Other Size > Advanced Paper Size > Scaling Options. In the example below, my print is too big, and I am seeing a value of 110 for an expected 100 dimension. In the Printer Properties window, select Printing Options. Scale factor = expected dimension / known dimension The first step, is to measure a known dimension. We are going to calculate the Scale factor needed to get the print to come out at 1:1. For this hypothetical situation, I have created a drawing with a larger print than expected. WHAT IF IT’s NOT PERFECT? Time to get out the ruler or calipers (depending on the level of accuracy you expect). When printing this drawing out, I select the correct Printer, choose A4 paper and set the scale at 1:1 ![]() The easiest thing to do in this instance is to create a calibration print.ĬREATING A CALIBRATION PRINT: In my example below, I have a model with easy to measure dimensions, and views laid out on an A4 sheet at a scale of 1:1. Generally speaking, your print should work perfectly, but you may encounter some systems (combination of OS/driver & printer), where the scale is out by a small margin. When printing, make sure that you set the print scale to 1:1 as well. THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR: The most obvious thing, is to make sure that your views are set to a scale of 1:1 on the drawing. So with that in mind, you may need to calibrate your printer’s output by editing the scale factor. In modern operating systems, there are no longer settings to tweak the driver’s output. This driver will ultimately size the final print. Firstly, your printer has a driver that must communicate with your operating system. NOTE: Although 1:1 prints are expected to be perfectly scaled, there are a few considerations. In this article, I want to help you set up your prints if you are not seeing perfect 1:1 results. 1:1, a fraction example 1/2, or a decimal fraction e.g. Scale can be specified using a ratio, e.g. The composition of applicants has changed, too. Nevertheless, in the U.S., the number of asylum requests from Russians increased almost 50-fold last year, and it has more than doubled in the EU. The new print dialogue pulls the list of available printers from your operating system, and the paper sizes come from your printer. Even after the start of Russias full-scale invasion of Ukraine and beginning of the military draft, this proportion remains insignificant. For example, if the scale factor is 1:8 and the scaled length is 4, multiply 4 × 8 32 to convert it to the larger actual size. With the release of Advanced Print controls in November 2022, printing to scale in Fusion 360 is now a lot easier. To convert a smaller, scaled measurement up to the actual measurement, simply multiply the scaled measurement by the scale factor. ![]()
