Try being less of a jerk and work on your reading comprehension. Sometimes I want to sketch something in like furniture to see how it might fit and it's harder to do that if I have to adjust to some very odd scale that it printed at. The reason I want them printed at scale is so I can measure some things that are not dimensioned on these preliminary drawings.
#MINDCAD TILER FULL SIZE#
I don't want to have to run to Kinkos for a full size copy when I just need a small section that I have concerns about. The originals are done in CAD by the architect and he sent me PDFs for review as we discuss some of the layout. Where did I say anything about altering the plans? "Moreover", where did I say I was trying to build anything off these plans? And I empirically know this to be true because that's what scale all the dimensions that are marked actually measure to be on the sheets I did print at full size. What makes me think it prints at 1/4" is a) that is what it was drawn at and b) that's what it is when I have it printed at full size 24"x36" at Kinkos which is what Adobe Reader tells me is its actual size. Where did you get the idea I had tried or even owned PS or Illustrator? I said nothing of the sort. If your plans are professionally produced (done by an architect) they are copyrighted, and may not be reproduced without express written permission, or as specified in the contract, anyway. It is ALWAYS required to call out measurements on the drawing since maintenance of true scale cannot be relied upon, and it is always mandatory to VERIFY ALL dimensions in the field. NO ONE builds by measuring off a blueprint. Change in construction details are best done at larger sizes than 1/4"=1', "blown-up" as it were, for clarity. Who/what is the source of the plans in the first place? Why don't you pay a blueprint shop to reproduce copies? The first copy is not cheap, but secondary and thereafter are, and all are scaled properly if the original was. Hopefully, Mindcad Tiler 2.0 will work for you, but you should learn to use/adapt the powerful tools you already have.Īlso, if this document is a PDF, what makes you think it prints at 1/4"=1' in the first place? Moreover, if these are not final plans, or you wish to alter the plans in the future, how exactly are you going to accomplish that without at least having Acrobat 8 or 9 (not Reader), PS CSx, or Illustrator CSx, or a cad program? So you tried within PS, or Illustrator, to cut sections from the original and then saving the cut sections as new files, or just printing the sections, then "Undo" cut, and it didn't work? I don't think you know much about PS or Illustrator, in that case. I tried doing it via a screen capture but the scale was still way off after a couple different print settings. I just want to be able to print parts of it and have it come out at the right scale so I can accurately measure things. It prints on 24"x36" paper but I don't want to run to Kinkos and pay $2 per page every time there's a revision or I need a fresh copy of some small part or it. I want to print it in sections at its native scale/actual size on 8.5.x11 paper - either a selected area that fits on one sheet or the whole thing on multiple sheets of paper.
