I want to print a drawing to scale 1:1 in Sketchup Pro. I have read several articles of other people having problems doing this. The only one that I have found that has succeeded is someone who repeatedly opened and closed sketchup. So how does one print a single drawing that is only 2d and is a rectangle 5 13/16" tall, 9 5/8" on the 3rd side and 5 13/16 inches on the 4th side on a single page? Why would this not be a program bug if one were to go to file->print then uncheck both fit to page off and model extents, set the correct orientation.and then click ok to print & not get the drawing printed correctly?
I have tried
1. taking a screen shot, putting that in Microsoft Photodraw, and printing.
2. filing my sketchup screen and then printing.with fit to page and model extents off.
3. read several articles on this forum by people who are experiencing the same issue.
4. gone through all the print dialog pages for my printer, a Epson WF-5690 and sketchup looking for scaling locations and not found any.
5. printing with the Use high accuracy HLR both on and off.
6. Googling although I will continue looking for an answer that works there.As additional information, I exported the file as 2d model with a file type of dxf and that file is opened with SheetCAM about 10% too big. In the model extents, the scale (though grayed out) is not 1:1.
Are there any places where the model is scaled that I should check?
Anything else that I need to do?
Is there anything that I could have inadvertently clicked that might cause this issue?
thanks.
