Hi
I have made some decimal rulers from 1 to 250mm from left to right and one with a zero center which i thought would be handy for a jig I am making.
I set the printer to Landscape first.
I have followed the instructions on sketchup help and switched from perpective view and into a top view.
centered the rules on screen and tried printing at a 1:1 scale.
Well I'm completely confused as it just wont work!
I set the 'fit to page' option off and set the scale in the printout and in sketchup to 1mm
this sets the page size to seemingly random numbers.
if I set these to 210mm by 297mm which is A4 size (which is also set in my printer)it all goes to pot
as I change the page width size the scale changes and so does the height page size !!
I cant set the page size and the scale to 1:1 at all so of course the printout is terrible and spread over 4 pages.
what is going on and how do i get round this please?
Oh I tried setting and unsetting 'use model extents' but this didn't change the outcome.
thanks
Mike
