plot not to scale

all prints are not plotting to scale, no matter which drawing, which printer, (oce or HP) which software, (Acad Solidworks VoloView) or which station I use to print from. On a 200mm line it prints @ 199. seems like a new problem, they were accurate a week ago, and IT. hasnt made any changes.

 

are u on 2005?

ACAD version 2000, solidworks 2004, not sure if this is a new issue or not,just checked some old prints, and they too were off slightly, 1/2 % on Acad to 2 % on Voloview SW was @ the same as Acad 1/2 %

 

Is drawing in a viewport? Someone accidently changed the zoom factor in the viewport?

 

no viewports, just printing full scale from dwg. mode.

 

If you want to correct the problem in AutoCAD, you have to use HDI drivers. I think you can caliobrate your plotters there:
draw a rectangle of 200x200mm, plot it 1:1 and measure the plot.
Should be done for eacht plotter separate. Maybe you can correct this also on the plotter itself, but sure you can find the answers to the question "would you like to calibrate you r plotter" when configuring teh AutoCAD HDI driver.
