      I'm having no luck printing a model actual size. Actually, it's more a mechanical drawing than a 3D model; all the components are flat planes, with no thickness. I'm using a Mac with SU8 Pro. I set the Camera view to parallel projection and the standard view to Front. Then, in the Document Setup menu, I deselect the fit-to-page option and set the scale so that 1" in the model equals 1" in print. The default scale is 1-23/64" to 1. But my setup settings don't take. It always prints oversized and reverts to the default scale. Am I missing something?
      Thanks in advance for the help.
      David
