print to scale

[Stephen Boase]

I am having difficulty printing to scale from AutoView V2.0.

I receive by, e-mail, drawings produced in AutoCad v13 that open OK and
generally print OK, occasionally get the sirlin32 error but get around it
with HP4 printer driver, but I cannot print the drawings to scale.

I have received drawings from another source that print to scale OK. The
only difference between the two sources is that the latter have been saved
with paper space (I view them in paper space), the former do not have paper

space created.

Is this the likely source of the problem - attempting to print non-paper
space drawings to scale?

Regards,

Stephen,
There is a problem with printing to scale in the latest release of View. View
2.0 will print to scale correctly, however if you updated this to View 2.01,
then print to scale no longer works.
You can tell if you have View 2.01 by choosing Options from the Tools pull-down
menu. Under Application Settings choose Screen. If you have an option on the
right hand side for 'Use Window Aspect for Zoom Rectangle' then you have View
2.01.
If you updated your original version of View, then you can try reloading View
from your CD and see if you get the original View 2.0.
Thanks,
Debbie

Thanks for the reply

In regard to my copy of Autodesk View - purchased about 3 months ago in
Australia.

The packaging refers to Autodesk View 2.0 International (made in Singpore).

The installation set-up refers to version 2.0

The Help - About Autodesk View refers to version 2.0

In the Tools-Options-Screen the 'Use Window Aspect for Zoom Rectangle' is
displayed with a check box.

So do I have version 2.0 or 2.01 ? If 2.01 how do I source version 2.0 ?
Can it be downloaded given that I have purchased a version ?

Printing drawings to scale was the main reason I purchased Autodesk View.

I return to my earlier point - drawings from two different drafting offices
do and don't respectively print to scale. Is there something in the
'don't' drawings set-up that is the cause or is this another sparodic error
?
