The response I got from AutoDesk was rather defensive, smacked of denial, definite rejection of the need and generally not helpful, so I assume that nothing will change to fix this issue as I see it. The only output I could get what I wanted is to export the drawing from Revit to CAD and print it out on my Calibrate plot PC3 file. The suggestions for percentages does not help. But the outcome was, no you cannot effect the printed output from Revit like you can with AutoCAD. The response from AutoDesk was not the best. Have you filed a Support Request for this issue? That's the best means to getting it resolved for you. Ultimately your printed drawing is "accurate", just not to a scale that the piece of plastic is designed to interpret. ![]() My rule was: never, ever, scale off a printed drawing. ![]() The model is extremely accurate (if the user has input it correctly), and thus any measurements and dimensions should be aquired from the model, not by laying a plastic ruler (which in itself has an innaccuracy tolerance) against a printed piece of paper that is relying on more software to translate form to ink or toner through mechanica/electrical means (that are also built to a tolerance) spit out onto a piece of paper. Then which the person reading the number off the scale can mistakenly interpret the wrong number. Accuracy is hugely important, and that's why when we model in Revit, we draw everything at real-world dimensions. Scaling off of drawings, whether hand-drafted or computer drafted is subject to so many errors, including those introduced by a myriad of plotters and plot/print drivers that are out there. I worked for a long time in Architecture, and scaling off of drawings is a pet-peeve of mine. You can question me, as the opinion I expressed was clearly my view, and does not necessarily reflect the company's view, considering the software is extremely accurate. Secondly, I'm an individual, that happens to be part of a company. Would you please send me screen shots of your print settings in Revit?
