Plotmaker shrinking output

Anonymous

Does anyone know why this is happening;

Plotmaker is printing my pmk files at about 85% of actual scale. I don't know why, could it be in the plot or drawing setup?

Thanks

a topic has already started on this . . .

you may find something in there that helps . . .

also, plotmaker 3 defaults to shrinking a layout to printable page area, whereas plotmaker 3.1 defaults to printing at 100% and spreading across multiple pages if necessary. you can alter this in the print/plot options dialogue boxes...

Thanks ~/archiben, was able to sort it out on my own, I guess PM3.1 will help, if it defaults to actual vs shrunk. My dealer is sending out 8.1/3.1 tomorrow so i should be fine.

Cheers
