Printing

Help!!! When I print a full size drawing 24x36 to our plotter it comes out great, but when I send a 1/2 size at 50% to 11x17 it doesn't print to 50% scale. What is happening? Does anyone have an idea. It seems to be about 3" over at 40' so a dimension of 40' is scaling at 40'-3"!

I changed my original page size to 22x34 to see if that was where my problem came from (since 11x17 is half of 22x34), but no such luck.

Any ideas would be appreciated!

are you actually selecting zoom %50 or fit to page? If you are selecting zoom 50% then there is a bug somewhere.

I am selecting zoom 50%.

It seems it is the printer. I tried to print to a different printer at 50% and all is well. I am thinking it must be something w/ the printer driver.

Some printers have a setting for "fit to margins" (or something similar) which might be the problem

I don't see any options for "fit to margin" any other ideas?
