Printing from layout issue

I’m using the trial of Rhino 8 and I am trying to print a sample file to scale on an A4 sheet. When I print, it doesn’t come out to scale on the sheet.
I have Rhino PDF selected, and when I select the scale I need, the preview window shows me a hugely incorrect scale. 1:100 which I’m aiming for is almost invisible.
What have I missed?
I’m just checking that I can make a clean swap from autocad and sketchup and this scaling from layout issue has me pretty upset.
Thanks.

Can you send the file that shows the issue?

I don’t see that here, all looks fine with that file

Since your layout has a detail that is scale 1:100, when you print, the scale should be set 1:1. Is that what you are doing? If so, send me a screenshot of your print preview and settings. The attached is the resulting pdf.

Hi Gijs, thanks for your help. Here are 2 screenshots of my printing settings.


that looks fine to me, so this is generating wrong output in pdf? Can you send the resulting pdf you are getting?

Okay. I feel like an idiot. I worked out what was tripping me up. It was simply the change from fit to actual size in print settings. My apologies and thanks for your help.
