Re: Scaling Cadintosh drawing for 1:1 printing

[jmjocius]

How can I simply get 1:1 precision on a 8 1/2 x 11 inch in Imperial inches?

Using Cadintosh 7.5.4, (I need to drill 183 holes for hinges) I have not found a way to print out a true, full, 1:1 scale precision 6 hole drilling-centers-pattern template,
Using Printer paper 8 1/2 x 11 inches

1) For Drawing menu pop up, Selected
Options >Drawing, Paper Size >[User define] and Scale [1.00000]" from the menu and chose [inch] and [Imperial] for drawing units.
A) Accepted defaults (for HPGL- Area) Width [3.970] inch, and Height [3.970] inch
B) Set Type [Decimal]; Accepted Precision (ANSI) greyed out 1/64
C) Accepted [ ] (Unchecked box) of Limit to inch (Only Fraction)
D) Accepted User Defined Name [dcm] and Relative to mm [100.000000]

2) To set up print page:
Tried "File >Area >Options >[Default] >Scale [0.03281] (=1/30.48 as "John" wrote here on 21 May 2007)

3) Tried "Group >Create with Window and selected all geometry (pattern of 6 hole centers for a hinge) and used 0,0 as center.

But as "John" wrote, I could not get his steps to work:
Select "Group->Change Scale" and for the scale factor use the inverse 
of your original scale factor [.03281 / 1]. This gets you back to full scale. Do 
the procedure again using your new scale factor.

Thanks for any set up guidance.

Hi,
the print scale has to be 1 and it will work.

Hello Thorsten,

I tried >File >Area >Scale 1.0000 with

>File >Select Area with Window snapping exactly a surrounding 8 1/2" x 11" (and named it: 8 1/2 x 11 Area 1).

Result is
a surrounding white space of 3 cm on left and right sides, 3.5 cm at top and 4 cm at the bottom outside of the 8 1/2" x 11" rectangle area specified and thus less than 1:1 scale.

Your expertise is still needed.
