#Librecad print to scale pdf
I can confirm that printing is really buggy, especially when using a PDF Printer (Microsoft Built-in or CutePDF tested) or the built-in export to PDF function. So we're hoping LibreCAD will eventually gets this feature to be easy enough for our staff's convenience requirements. However, we can't afford to put DraftSight onto every workstation (not open source / Free). It is apparently doing the things I'm requesting in LibreCAD. I only mention as an example to model after. Take a look at, DraftSight "Export to PDF" feature, it was the best by default I've seen so far in my testing. The PDF converter I use, needs to automate these things. I cannot burden my users with scaling and paper selection work-arounds.
As said, that part looked great, but is was unfortunately not what ended up on the PDF! When I saw the print preview in LibreCAD, it made me very excited that LibreCAD was exactly what we needed. There are online tools that will convert dxf to pdf, but we value our customer's privacy and don't want to entrust their CADs with online 3rd parties. I hope the 2.2.0-rc2 version, mentioned by, has solved this issue to the degree I've mentioned above. Our users aren't technical and need a tool that automatically does what I've mentioned above.
#Librecad print to scale install
Instead of asking the customer to re-send us a PDF, we were hoping we could just install LibreCAD onto each workstation and exclusively use it for its "Export to PDF" capability. Occasionally, the customer will send us a dmg or dxf file. We just need to know the measurements of the pieces for selling the raw material that the CAD requires. Most of our customers send us PDFs to begin with. Our staff, needs no other feature of LibreCAD than its Export to PDF feature! We don't edit any of the dmg or dxf files we receive from our customers. It should even auto-choose portrait or landscape based on the aspect ratio of the drawing itself, so that the drawing is maximum size on the page of the PDF document. The export to PDF feature, should (by default), automate all steps necessary to produce a PDF document that "scales to fit".
