Hello everyone, I downloaded some of mono plans and I can't seem to get
them to print to scale. What am I doing wrong? I'm tring to print the
pdf files.

Howdy
You are doing it right all you need to do is in the printer set up
option that pops up before you print just click the tab for scaling and
select NONE no more problem

I had the same hassel With a few of the bigger plans like the 72 inch
you will need to get hold of someone with a paper feed printer and set
it to the next size up to what you are printing ie72 inch plans set
printer for 85inch etc.
Good luck
Enjoy:) :) :) ;)

G'day,

As Dave has suggested, take them to a print shop and you will be able
to get them transferred to your size liking on one piece of paper. I
used the Wildthing plans and half scaled them to 26" for my electric
one. Do you have the DXF file too?? That one is good for something
like CAD.
Another way that I got it to tile was to copy the image on the PDF and
paste it into Microsoft Excel in full size and then adjust the print
range from there. Seemed to work pretty well.
