Gerber file Scaling Problem.

[jeeshenlee]

Hello all,

I have one problem with the PCBNew or Gerber file viewer. The scale of
my printed PCB layer (on A4 with Scale 1) does not match with the PCB
dimension drawed in PCBNew.

Please advice.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
jeeshen

Hi,
Printer scaling is never exact. If you need to do it this way (rather than
plot to a file to sent to a manufacturer) then you will need to adjust the X
& Y scaling, bottom right of the dialogue box, by trial and error.
Good luck.

Good luck.

You may also note that the box "Appox. Scale 1" should be checked. This
allows for the stretching of X and Y via the boxes at the bottom of the
window.
