how to scale a drawing unidirectionally by 99.9 % ???

Jan 10, 2005 2 Replies

A new SW customer has a (expensive) plotter that enlarges drawings in the Y direction by 0.1 %, even if this is in the plotter tolerances, this is a problem since the plots are used for parts control through optical profile projector. The customer used to "cheat" his 2D cadkey drawings by shrinking them by a 99.9% scale. How to do this with SolidWorks ? Is there a solution without exporting to DXF and use another tool ? Is there a way to specify unidirectional scales in PDF ? Thanks ! Philippe Guglielmetti -

Phillipe,

Doesn't setting the drawing, (or view) scale to .99 : 1 do the same thing.

Seems to work here,,, SW2005 SP0
