LibreCad : Optimizing print scale and offset

  • Thread starter Thread starter Swamp Thing

AI Thread Summary
LibreCAD's print preview mode allows users to set a print scale ratio and adjust the page offset, but changing the print scale often resets the viewport zoom and offset to default settings. This issue makes it difficult to align the page outline with the drawing contents, requiring users to zoom out and reposition the page outline manually. Users are seeking a more efficient method to adjust both print scale and offset without losing their previous settings. There is a need for clearer guidance on how to manage plotting settings effectively in LibreCAD. Finding a solution to this problem would enhance the user experience significantly.

LibreCad has this print preview mode where there is a text box that accepts a print scale ratio. Also, the screen shows a representation of the page that you can drag aroud to set the offset, and thus select which part of the drawing will be on the page, and where on the page it will be.

The problem I have is that changing the print scale causes the view zoom and viewport offset to jump to some default setting. Also the page outline is no longer where I had dragged it. I then have to zoom way out, search out where the page outline has jumped to, and drag it back again so it aligns with the drawing contents once more.

In short, I don't know how I can alternately set the print scale and offset in a convenient way until I am happy with both.

What is the right way to do this?

Thread 'Urgent: Physically repair - or bypass - power button on Asus laptop'

Asus Vivobook S14 flip. The power button is wrecked. Unable to turn it on AT ALL. We can get into how and why it got wrecked later, but suffice to say a kitchen knife was involved: These buttons do want to NOT come off, not like other lappies, where they can snap in and out. And they sure don't go back on. So, in the absence of a longer-term solution that might involve a replacement, is there any way I can activate the power button, like with a paperclip or wire or something? It looks...
