    Default Printed Sheet Margin is Much Wider Than Sheet View

    I'm just getting started setting up my titleblocks. I created a new titleblock, loaded into a project and then selected that titleblock for a new sheet. I then dragged the view I wanted on to the sheet. So far so good. Everything appears as it should and I'm ready to print. However, when I print there is this very wide margin surrounding my printed sheet. It looks nothing like the sheet view. It's as if there is this hidden preset margin and the sheet is getting scaled down to fit inside that oversized margin.

    What step(s) have I missed? Feeling a bit perplexed.

    It appears that I was having the same issue that JayC was having;

    The 'Fit to page' option was selected. I changed it to 'Zoom 100%' which also auto selected 'Offset from corner - No margin'. Problem solved.

    Thanks JayC

    We always print at 100% and Centered and our prints come out fine.

    Just wanted to add

    that sometimes margins can be screwed up by hidden
    objects in the sheet file, such as reference lines.

    so just double check first of all with ZF (Zoom to fit)
    the height and width of your sheet before printing.

    hope that will help someone.
