Document prints at wrong size


Recommended Posts

I'm using AD 1.7.3, and cannot get objects to print at the size specified in the document. This happens even though I've checked that the page setup matches the printer page size.

(It seems as though the print size is in some way related to the document's DPI setting, because the print size varies with different DPI values. I always thought that vector drawing packages were resolution-independent – in fact, that's the entire reason I use them.)

You can see the effect in the attached screenshot. On the main screen you can see the size of the object in relation to the page. In the Print dialog, you can see how the object has been 'resized' in relation to the (same) page size.

I suspect I'm doing something stupid, because I simply can't believe that a serious competitor to Adobe Illustrator is completely flouting WYSIWYG principles.

Can someone please take a moment to tell me what's happening?
