How to take print of PCB Layout into 1:1 ratio.
So that i can check whether an IC foot print is correctly matched or not?
I am using orcad 16.0.
Could any one help me out?

Thanks for your reply.
But i am using OrCAD version 16.0. When i made post processor setting i set there 1:1 ratio.
When go for print out or export as a image its out put is in 47% zoom .
It is not the exact 1:1 ratio. But when i am zooming it to 100% it perfectly matched.
But when i go for the printout it is not suitable one?
My problem is that how to convert printout 47% zoom in to 100% zoom. So that i can check out.

just make the gerbers open them in a CAM tool and in the printer setting make the sacling factor as 1:1
do not zoom scale.
as you have set 1:1 in the post process the printer output you are getting is actual size of your layout(i.e. 47%) when you will take the print and place your component I think it will match.

i had already sent that file for fabrication & now the PCB board is with me also also.
But i need to check before fabrication using print out on blank paper for all the component?

Open your design in max file.
Save existing color setup to a file
Load the attached color setup file. (I use this color settings to check non standard parts)
Now follow below steps to print 1:1
File>print/plot>
select print manager
Uncheck print/lot current view
Ensure scale ratio is 1:1
Click ok to print.
