LibreCad : Optimizing print scale and offset

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?

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
