ANSI B printing and generating PDFs

eng101

I'm trying to print schematic sheets using the Project > Generate Outputs workflow and the page sizes are all scaled incorrectly such that the schematic only takes up a portion of the page.

There are a bunch of topics on this in the forum but no definitive answers other than it might be something to do with the printer drivers. I've uninstalled every printer, deleted them from the registry, reinstalled Circuit Studio, (doing a clean uninstall that deleted all of my saved preferences and settings), deleted the OutJob files for the projects and yet it keeps doing it on every single project. Does anyone have a definitive solution for this or a printer driver that I can use that is known to work?

  • So here's my process for creating B size Schematic sheets - if I follow this process, it seems to work every time......

    • Schematic Print/PDF Export (B Size Sheet):
      • CS > Outputs Tab > Print
        • Select Microsoft Print to PDF
        • Cancel - Do Not print yet!
      • CS > Outputs Tab > Page Setup:
        • Select Tabloid, Landscape, Fit, Color
      • CS > Outputs Tab > Print > Microsoft Print to PDF > Properties
        • Select Landscape, Advanced > Paper Size > Tabloid
        • Print to the file
      • Print the generated file to the printer using Adobe Acrobat Reader
        • Select Ledger under Page Setup in the lower left corner of the dialog

    Cheers!

    I appreciate the response, but I have no issues with printing single schematic sheets using Outputs > Print however this feature is only a single schematic page at a time and more importantly it does not contain the embedded component information (part number, vendor etc.). To get all schematic sheets in a single file along with the embedded component information you have to use the Projects > Generate Outputs > Schematic Prints dialog, and unfortunately this is the one that doesn't work.
