Print Scaled to Fit???
-
Layout seems so completely devoid of help, it's frustrating.
I have a Layout file that I want to print out on a letter size sheet. It's an E size document. I printed it out before with no issues, but now it only wants to plot full scale (so I only get the top left corner of the layout). Every imaging software that I've ever seen has a "scale to fit paper size" option, but I don't see one for Layout, and all attempts to get online help assumes I'm looking for Sketchup, not Layout, help.

export from layout to pdf.
print to any size with acrobat, preview, or whatever. -

Not only that one can't print to scale another stupid thing is preview, all pages only. Printing in layout is extremely obnoxious. Also crashing, when printing, exporting, previewing.... Shame that these Trimble people can't see that. Tones of mickey mouse plugins but not one that does the real thing.. Also software's 32bit legacy and lack of real kick power behind it irrespective of what machine or GPU one uses?! Most of the work done via processor thus crashing... After all pain of assembling construction drawings etc. at the end a real pain to print it out?? That's a joke.. From Sketchup to Layout to Mental Clinic... I have a project comprising 30 detailed drawings, can't print them, export them, preview them.. I use capture software to paste all drawings in image software and print them there... Every time I attempt crash after crash, bug splut etc. Sent file to Sketchup with level 4 support man telling me that I am one of the two on the planet earth with this problem. Can't believe that they are trying to make a nag run like a thoroughbred, and at the same time pretend that everything is fine?!. Whole software should be re-written. True solids, 64 bit, proper GPU integration, contemporary GUI, Transparent Skethup-Layout interface, list goes on. I've been using it since 2003. Love and hate relationship. Presentation, visualisation, animation, brilliant. Serious construction, detailing, simply as it currently stands in particular Layout, crap. One day my prince will come, hopefully... Sorry I went a bit of tangent, but my pain is immense...[/size]
