JASInteriors Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 I set my drawing sheet to ANSI D (22"x34") and hit OK. The I go to the layout sheet to print, say my floor plan sheet, and I hit 11"x17" for paper size and my drawing scale @ Check Plot 1/2" scale and it is giving my an error. It says oversized drawing sheet even though I set it to the (22"x34") which at 1/2 of that it is 11"x17". So why am i having this issue? I use X9 Premier. I don't want to print on the sheet with (fit to page, that will make it not to scale). I have also included two pics. Thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 You have ARCH D selected not ANSI D. At least the print preview thinks that for some reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASInteriors Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yea I dont know why it says ARCH D when I hit print on the layout sheet, even though I set up on the plan, drawing sheet set for ANSI D. Doesnt make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 It kinda looks like that is the issue in the print preview. You might try bumping it by changing it to a different size say OK then open back up change it back again. Otherwise maybe tech support on Monday. Not sure what else it might be.

Chopsaw Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 You are printing from Layout right. So is it the layout sheet that you have set to ARCH D and plan to ANSI D ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASInteriors Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 I am wanting to print from the layout sheet. Under the plan itself it is set as follow: Drawing sheet set to = ANSI D (22" x 34" ) Scale: 1/4" Under the layout sheet print window box: Printer paper = (11' x 17") Print source: ARCH D (24" x 36" ) Check Plot at 1/2" scale. I DO NOT know why while under the layout sheet the print source is set to ARCH D and not the correct one: ANSI D. That's what I am on here asking about it. Again I want to print from the layout sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Ok so maybe it is your Layout Drawing Sheet Setup that is causing the issue. From Layout go to File> Print> Drawing Sheet Setup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JASInteriors Posted January 28, 2018 Author Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yea I just saw that and sure enough it was the wrong size: ARCH D so I just changed it to the correct size I want: ANSI D but when I did that, the sheet itself shrunk down and the borders I have and all the text on the right side is all set too large. Is there an easy way to re-size all that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopsaw Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 From Page 0 Marquee select everything and go to Transform and Replicate and Resize by .9166 and be careful not to select the paper, by turning off the Drawing Sheet first, and then maybe you will only have to fix the left side borders manually.

DRAWZILLA Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 you could also just hit "Clear printer info" and start over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahuna Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Just FYI not sure what printer you use but I buy 12x18 sheets so 24x36 sheets plot nicely at half scale or 1/8". Most oversize home office style printers will print up to13x19 sheets and check sets are to a usable scale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
