Dimension not Accurate

[nsinha73]

Please tell me I am doing something wrong.

I plotted a drawing at 1/8" scale and measured it on the paper.....the Dimension lines say it is 24'-0" X 40'-0" ...but when I measure it with my Architectural scale, it comes out to be 24'-0" X 43'-0"....and it is just a box...no finish nor nothing.

No, my units are to the nearest 1/4" and my dimension settings use the project settings....Please help

Sounds like the x,y callibration of your plotter is off....

This may be stating the obvious but in the printer setup if you have fit to page checked it will skew your scale. Setting it to zoom @ 100% should be accurate.

I knew Revit cannot be that inaccurate....Seems like when I print in Plotter, its fine, but when I print to our Laser 11X17, scales slightly jerked up.
Anyways guys, thanks!!

I found this also to my laser printer... though not to that degree mine was just off a fraction...

Try using a postscript printer driver ... that made mine right on!!!

Where can I get a postscript driver?

The real PS driver is free. Just be sure to pair it up with the correct PPD file so you have the sheet sizes you want.
