I've routed the bottom layer for my PCB...
then I tried to print the layout to a paper...
problem is:
why the printing is FIT PAGE?? and not showing the real size of each components.
any settings should I apply???

I'm using Altium Designer.
 

goto file> default prints> select pcb prints>
Next select Page setup> Change "Fit Document On Page" to "Scaled Print"> Scale: 1.00



done

there is a scaling option under the File, Page Setup.
you can select paper size colour preview and such.
 

You could use the artwork and manufacturing file output options if you want the correct scaling.

It has (sadly) been a while since I used AD so I can't remember the exact menu instructions.
 

you must change the page scale = 1 from the print setup.
 

I dont want to open new thread so I will ask here for my problem.
When I set scale on 1, my print is smaller than it should be. I dont know why. With couple of tries I have established that good print is on scale 1.01, and corrections for x (and y) are also on 1.01. Can anyone tell me why is this happening?
Thanks
 

Hi,

I also faced same problem, when I set the scale print to 1, my print ( both horizantal and vertical) showing some difference with physical board. But I was thinking 1 to 1 print means we have to set the scale 1.1 . :)
 

Anyone knows, why I get "fit to page" scaling when i generate pdf from Jobfile, even if i set the scale to 1.
(Using AD13 on system WIN8).

Has anybody faced with such problem?
