Ok, I did this exercise too and I got the same result as you.

This exercise was done entirely from within model space. If everything is to your satisfaction then go ahead and print your drawing. Click on the button and you will see your drawing as it will appear on the paper. If it were red then that would indicate some portion of our drawing falls outside the edges of the paper.Īs a final check if you look in the lower left hand corner of the Print Configuration dialog window you will see a button labeled "Print Preview.". The fact that it is green tells us everything will be printed. The green rectangle/letter is a pseudo-representation of what falls within the confines of the paper. In the upper right corner there appears a white border representing the sheet size (297x420). Look to the far right and you also see that I have elected to center my model space geometry on the paper. Using the down arrow after the option Scale: User-defined I can select 1:10 which is then reflected below. Note that I "unchecked" the option "Fit to paper". Let's say I have drawn a box with the dimensions of 2100 by 1485 and I want to print it on an A3 sheet of paper at a scale of 1:10.
