[solved] unable to print or PDF export one drawing on MAC

[DA01769]

I am unable to print the attached drawing or export it to PDF. Print just does nothing and export yields a blank page. I have set scale to 10,000 to 1 and it looks fine on screen

Hello and welcome.
In print preview go to the page set up tools and set the page size etc then use the centre to page option afterwards and test print to pdf.
I can't look at your file at the moment, travelling!

Clive,

thanks for the prompt reply, tried that but still no luck.

1:10000 seems very small for that drawing. Try 1:300.

For detailed printing instructions please refer to the following post in our tips and tutorials forum:

Many thanks, I had got my ratios backwards. Oddly by using 10000:1 rather than 1:300 I did get a white square showing that I could move around to highlight what I thought was the print area. Not sure what I was seeing.
