It sometimes works and sometimes crops and so far, I cant see what may be causing the issue - I dont think Im doing anything different each time.

I then double clicked, so Im back in model space, but from with in my paperspace viewport (if that makes sense).

So now when I zoom, the model space zooms and re-scales (it doesnt zoom out to reveal the layout).

I cant find this button (It basically does the same as double clicking outside your layout).

Does anyone know where that button is Would be a massive help if you could advise me.

Itd be great to get the button back as you could see from that if you were in paper or model space really easily.

It says PAPER or MODEL and you can switch between the two with that button.

Are you on autocad 2012 (on a mac) I had it with 2011 but cant find it now.

That is not what I mean, this is a button to the right that eitehr says MODEL or PAPER.

The tabs are different in 2012 - there is one tab you click on and that brings up a list, im not so into it because it takes 2 clicks where it used to take only 1.

Ill prob stick to the PSPACE command for now, unless there is an added bonus to doing it that way.

But for some reason I just cant get an A3 print out - it crop about 13 of the layout off the page.

Most times AutoCAD wants to print to a printer that is no longer available or not the one set as the default printer.

There is a box you can check next to fit to paper in the scale part of the print dialogue box, but its greyed out for me, so I cant check it.

Also, dont use the fit to paper button unless you want your scale to be off in the output.

In an update - it seems that I get different results depending on which A3 preset I use - if I use minimum margins I do actually get the whole layout on my pdf (but the margins are different sizes so I worry if the scale is actually maintained) If I use the standard A3 preset, thats when its totally off and the left margin is really big and I loose some of the right side of the layout.

I have looked at the margin settings in the manage custom size part of the printer dialogue box.

In the print dialogue box, where it says printer there is a drop down list - it seems that there should be an option there for DWG to DDF.pc3 I dont have that option there Is this something I should have, and might be causing the problems Is it something I can fix.

If its not there in AutoCad, then something is wrong but I have no idea short of a Repair how to fix it.

You can also find the path to it in the AutoCAD menu item TOOLS OPTIONS FILES Printer Support File Path.
