![]() I also tried making an SVG straight off the model and it printed very small. I selected no borders in the print settings. ![]() A couple times only the outline of the part and another box appeared. ![]() Once the whole drawing appeard as it should. I opened them in karbon and tried printing. I tried selecting the page folder and exporting and then tried selecting the top view and exporting that both to SVG. I then made an A4 drawing, insterted an ortho projection and deselected auto scale and selected a scale of 1. I simplified things and modled a 150mm x 100 mm pad. Due to troubles yesterday I recompiled so I should be as current as you get. If you can't get it to work, if you want to attach your FCstd file to the forum, I will have ago and let you know exactly what I have to do to get it to work correctly. I had to do that because my printer was a brand new model, my old HP had worked but I bought a cheap new 3-in-1 that works well but as I said needed the latest software from HP. My printers are HP, with the HP printer drivers and software downloaded from HP's web site. And I am also on Kubuntu, version 12.04 LTS 64bit. Oh, that's right there was another thing, change the Drawing page size in FreeCAD to an A4 sheet.assuming that your printer is printing on A4 paper.Īlso you have not given us any information about which version of FreeCAD you are running, if you are not compiling from Master, or using the PPA version 0.13, then upgrade.įor the record I did it on FreeCAD compiled from master a few months ago, which would be pretty close to FreeCAD0.13 release version. Then Inkscape managed to print out real world 1:1 on one of my printers. The work around/solution I used was to save the drawing as an SVG file, then open it in Inkscape, then go to the page and/or print properties and set the print margin to 0 all around. I did eventually manage to get it to work with one of my printers. Hence it gets scaled by a few percent smaller than real world size. Also what's often the problem is that the svg gets scaled to fit within the print area of your page rather than your page. The issues can be related to many things, including your printer driver. We discussed this issue somewhere on these forums a few months ago.įirstly forget PDF, look at svg. What is the easiest way to print to scale? ![]() Finally I made a 6" square in the gimp and it printed out to scale so it seems it must be an issue with FC. I thought it was an issue with kubuntu or my print drivers or something. It didn't print to scale so I exported it to PDF and tried to print from ocular and adobe reader. I made a drawing scaled 1:1 and tried to print it in FC. I spent a long time trying to get it to print to scale. I am thinking if there was an extension where you input desired length and then it would automatically solve pythagoraes for you and set the lines end point X/Y = line end point X/Y + vector component X/Y.Yoshimitsuspeed wrote:Today I was trying to print out a flange to compare to the gasket I made it off of. ![]() It would just be so much easier to then be able to directly set the length of the line with the result of this simple calculation, than each time having to solve pythagoraes to know where to place the end point of the line (which would be the alternative way of making the line the length I want). All this is just because I want to visualize what happens and I think Inkscape would be a perfect program to do this in. And the end point of this line would then be the position to point the gun at for the bullet to hit the target. So in the time it would take the guns bullet to reach the targets initial position the target would have moved to a new position: The targets vector (the line) would have grown to a new length: lengthOfLine = targetSpeed * timeForBulletToReachTargetsInitialPosition. However the target does move, so it has direction and speed. The distance to this target divided by the speed of the guns bullet is the time it takes for the bullet to hit the target, if the target don't move. For example I have a gun that aims at a target. The reason why I want to do this it's because I am playing around with predictive aiming methods for a game. Is it possible to set the length of a line directly by inputting a numerical value? ![]()
