Hello, I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on how to print a design ive made to scale. My design is too small for the project I’m working on. I mainly want to see my project in real time before having my machine cut it out.
Thanks
The new version has added printing as a feature:
Build 824
New First pass at a Print command. It currently supports printing the visible design on a single sheet.
Drawing a rectangle which matches the printable region of your printer and scale things down to fit in that should work.

What I would do is zoom in until the project fills as much of the screen as possible and then screenshot it.
Then open Inkscape or PowerPoint and paste it in and adjust the size until it is 1:1 on a 8.5x11 canvas.
Getting it to a 1:1 can be done in different ways. I would put a bounding box around the project of known size, then make a rectangle of the same size in Inkscape and size the screenshot until the two rectangles are the same size.

You also need to consider the print spooler may scale the results as it’s processed for the printer.
