Thanks Mr.Heller, I don't have Pusonix and I don't wish to spend $5,000 printer utility or learning time. All I need is to tell the printer that my board (drawn area) is certain mm x certain mm and printer to adjust the print size to that. If I have a 2D .DXF file that has my board layout for a 131x73 board I want to print a 131x73 mm image on paper with the correct aspect ratio. Somewhat like autofit feature of windows printer utility. The purpose for this is to visualy check the board layout for trace or pad overlap(s) before sending it to the board maker.
