For me, one of the things I want from the digital archive is the ability to print drawings. I have printed but noticed that the drawings are not to scale. Does anyone know what percentage I would have to print at to get a proper scale drawing?
I may have answered my own question. Through experimentation I find 109% works. I have not tested this extensively but ask if others have the same experience.
I’d arrived at 109% too.
Hi Greg!
Glad you solved your problem.
I’m also very proud of you for modeling the CPR![tup][bow]

CHECK your printer settings. Do not use “Print to Fit” but rather use 100% or “Actual Size”. Or it may be that the archive itself is reduced by that percentage, in which case what you are doing is what has to be done.

I tried that (100% or actual size) but it was still off. I have experimented with several drawings and have come to the conclusion that sometimes you need to use 110% to get accurate results. Too bad there wasn’t a more accurate way to scan and display the pages but I am thankful we have access to the drawings. In my opinion many things have changed on the modeling scene since the 30s 40s and 50s but a scale drawing is timeless and useful forever.
