[Bug] It is applied Paper scale at CAXA's plot with 1:1 scale

Bertrand

Hi all


It means it is not true "1:1 Scale" of the model. Thanks

yejjyejj

Hi, it's normal here. Could you please upload your drawingsThe attachment shows the effect of 1:1 printing of the drawings

Hi,
It was a simple 50x50 rectangle box.

Sorry I had forgotten to add the options I tested. "Window" options has this issue.
You can Try it with Export Graphics "Window" and 1:2 Paper Scale.



Within "Window option" and 1:1 fit should always be printed at 1:1 scale, regardless of the paper scale.

CAPTCHA is changed back to Chinese again, It's sad...

yejjyejj

The drawing above has a 1:1 scale and is printed in the window
The following drawings have a scale of 1:2 and are printed in the window
The mapping relationships are all 1:1
I think there's no problem

Thanks,
As a engineer. I always need 1:1 scale even if the Paper scale is 1:2 or 1:3 or 1:4.
The 1:1 for window option in the plot should only be 1:1 for the model. Perhaps there is no one who is the engineer wants to print 1:1 with the window option and have 50mm print out as 25mm, because 1:1 printing for paper size is already possible with other options, but 1:1 printing for models with different paper scales is not currently possible in CAXA unless you check the paper scale and zoom in to 2:1 if it's at 1:2 scale and print it at 2:1 scale <- this method could occurs the human error.

I currently have to use another CAD program if I need 1:1 printing to avoid any mistakes, which is a waste of workflow.

So this should be an enhancement request, not a bug.

嗯嗯，这个想法很好，1：1打印，不管图幅的比例，就是要完全按照实际的尺寸打印。
这样的打印不是作为图板的功能了，就是说打印的不是一张图纸，因为，如果是A4图幅，画图的比例是1：2，要想完全是1：1打印整个图纸幅面，就要打印在A3纸张上了。
可以考虑增加这个功能，这样需要1：1图形的时候就不需要考虑图幅的比例了，但是，如果有文字，是不是还需要调整相应的文字尺寸。
还有，如果绘图比例过大，比如1：50，或1：100，哈哈，虽然在屏幕上只有一点点，但是实际尺寸是很大的了。不过也可以做个限制，只要打印的图形超出纸张尺寸，给个提示，就像word的打印一样。

Hi,
As a mechanical designer, the only time when I print 1:1 is when I want to compare to the real thing, or when I want to draw at real scale. I don't know about architecture or other fields.
If the scale is large, of course the texts will be very large when printed at 1:1, but this is not a problem, I think it's better to just print it as it is on the screen. However, it would be nice if the text also scaled in or out automatically.
If the print range exceeded on the selected paper with selected area when 1:1 scale, I think it's best option to have the preview how much size the window is taking up on the selected paper, like in AutoCAD's Plot tool.
It's good to get other people's opinions, too.
