Jan.nielsen Posted October 23, 2020 Share Posted October 23, 2020 Working with a lasercutter in "landscape" format only. (300x600mm for info only) In Autodesk 3D inventor I have an A3 landscape drawing with both cutting and engraving lines ( colour selection ) When going from dwg to pdf for using in lasercutter I can only make the pdf as portrait. Even turning it 90 degr. it appears as portrait. How ( and where ) can I have the end result as landscape.?

You don't mention any Affinity applications in your problem description. Which Affinity application are you using, and where does it fit into the workflow you've described? Can you provide one of your PDF files as a sample? Also: It's generally not a good idea to use your email address as a forum display name. That makes it easily availabe to spammers, and can result in your getting more spam email.

By starting with a new file dialog, there is the option there to make it Landscape. If you have a document open go to Document Setup (in Designer it is File > Document Setup) and change it there but the items remain as you have laid them out so you will have to rotate them 90º.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
