Gareth,
I too had some difficulty initially with scaling in Layout.
I am assuming you are talking about your SU model scale.
A couple points:
Make sure scale remains as desired, after any adjustments to model view.
Make sure view is Parallel Projection.
Oh...& make sure printer is not resising to fit page.Beyond this I would really be guessing.
Can you post files?Charlie

Hi Charlie,
Actually the problem is when I draw a Site Plan, or Floor Plan. A Model doesn't concern me because it is more a matter of sizing it proportionbally on the Layout page.
An example would be if I import it it into Layout and set the scale of say 1:100 for a Floor Plan or 1:200 for a Site Plan.
It should be simple, but when I print the PDF, the scale is quite different from the scale I have selected....even though it looks nice...!!
Cheers,
Gareth

Can you attach some skp file(s), layout file(s) and pdf file(s) that demonstrate this problem?
