Have posted this here before had several responses but nothing helps
Cant print to D size 24" X 36" without it coming in out of proportion
When I do C size 18" X 24" there is no problem
Tired of having to send them to turbocad to print
Attached are my files
Please help
I used the Window option and snapped to the title block upper left then lower right corner to get this result. Used settings similar to yours but with DeskPDF printer.
Color and Black/White attached

Have not tried that pdf printer will see if I can get a free trial
Have tried about 7 others with the same result have even tried reinstalling
turbo floor plan in case it was corrupt but no success there
I seems your printer pdf is working, \\
When you use the Window option, what 'points' are you snapping to?
If the border of your title block is 24 x 26, then snapping to the opposing corners should also scale on sheet properly. I don't understand where the extra space on the right of your PDF came from.
Settings are completed before Window 'snap' is activated.

Have tried all my pdf printers with the settings you show
Snap from top left to bottom right get the same results everytime
Notice also not only the blank space to the right on the pdf but
also the plan is pushed in out of proportion from left to right this is
most noticable when looking at the bath tub
Got the free trial of desk pdf when it tries to write a file
box pos up that says post scripte interpreter problem
then it writes a pdf that adobe cant open
just got the free trial for pdf suite 2012 same problem with
has got to be a problem in the software
Need help
The pdf I post was from TFPlan v16. You never said if that PDF was correct.
If it was, then TFPlan is not the problem.

That is the version that Im using I also have a copy of HGTV it does the same
Have tried 10 different pdf writers must be something Im doing wrong
I had no problem printing to scale with PDF24 (free). Was PDF24 one of the ones you tried?
I did not do anything unusual - used the Window option and snapped to the opposite corners of your border, defined a custom sized 2'x3' paper size (I normally use metric) and set the resolution to 150 to keep the file size down but they were the only things I changed.

Tried PDF 24 still have the same problem
Have found that with any of the PDF printers if I turn the titleblock to portrait
it prints perfect
But I need to rotate the entire plan dont know how to do that
Use PDF24, set it to Landscape but set up a custom page and enter the size the wrong way around (2' wide and 3' high). That is what I did and it worked fine.

I got it to work perfect I had been trying to print everything at 600dpi
going to 300 fixed the problem
Thank you everybody for your help and patience
Whooo hoo !!
Way to go. Who would ever think that changing from 600 to 300 dpi would have that affect?
Thanks for posting your solution.
By the way, 300 dpi is the standard max , as the human eye cannot see more detailed than that.

Sorry - I was aware of that solution from a previous situation and had completely forgotten it! ::)
My brain is suffereing from information overload I think (or old age ;) )
