cadintosh printing problem

Attachments :Thorsten - I have a problem printing from CADintosh. If I choose “all” from the print sub-menu all is fine, I can print the entire drawing on one sheet of paper. However, for some drawings I need to reproduce them at actual size, and in some cases this means they cover more than one sheet of paper.I have made model aircraft drawings over several years in CADintosh. I made the PDFs so that others could reproduce the model at the correct size, and you can see some of the sort of thing I’m talking about at:http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk/aviatio ... loads.phpI recently re-visited one such drawing (not one of those published on my website) with the intention of making some small changes and then producing new PDFs. However, I have not been able to produce PDFs (or indeed paper prints) in the same manner. I attach a PDF for A4 size paper that I produced in 2013 to show what is wanted (and expected!).I checked that the scale for the area “main” is set to 1:1 but when I try to print that area I get the attached print dialogue (with the drawing in the background). You will see that it is trying to print on 25 sheets instead of the 4 I expected. The preview window shows page 7; the first 6 pages are completely blank. If I print that page alone it _does_ come out at the correct scaling. It appears that CADintosh is adding a large margin around the area when it tries to print it.Then I noticed the “multipage print” menu item and thought that might be the answer. I chose that and then got a dialogue asking if I was sure I wanted to print 48 pages with cutting marks. I clicked OK, thinking that I could choose a PDF output which would be quicker and less wasteful for diagnosis. However, there was no further dialogue and printing commenced immediately, on the last printer I had used. I let it run to see what the output would be like. Amazingly, I got 48 sheets with cutting marks on each, but NOTHING ELSE printed on any sheet!Am I doing something wrong? If not, what can be done to address the problem and get back to the behaviour I had back in 2013?Environment:OS X 10.9.5CADintosh 8.1.5 (build 268)Please get back to me if more information is needed to diagnose the problem.in friendshipRowland: Rowland Carson ... that's Rowland with a 'w' ...: <rowlandcarson@gmail.com> http://www.rowlandcarson.org.uk: Skype, Twitter: rowland_carson Facebook: Rowland Carson: pictures: http://picasaweb.google.com/rowlandcarson
