We use a HNC method here occasionally (Human Numerical Control), where we print off a sheet metal part as a full page label, (can just use Elmers? stick glue on larger sheet too) stick it to the metal, cut, fold and drill on the lines, then remove the label with WD40 or RP7, saves a lot of marking out time by the guys in the shop. I think it expands a couple of percent at high humidity.

The problem is that the size of paper changes with humidity, and is generally different according to the grain direction. And double check these dimensions within hrs of making the part. One final note, if you are going to use the drawings as patterns, ensure you put check dimensions against each part, one along the the paper and one across the paper. If you get a choice, pay a little more for 'vellum' or 'onionskin' rather than paper as the size is more stable (see next paragraph). Sounds like the Blueprint approach would be ideal, I'll remember that for myself later. The program prints glue/tape margins as a feature. Once the scale is set correctly, you can print the remainder of the page. I just checked the print against a laser cut part from the kit. Begin by printing one page to adjust to scale. Hope that helps.Here is a link to a program that I've successfully used to print drawings for r/c aircraft.

Your question is how to get a 1:1 scale drawing printed from your standard size printer, right?

then i would make a custom size that is the needed length and width and then play with it until i got it to do what i wanted it to do, which is print out the drawing as a multipage drawing.Īnother way that might work would be use the above steps until the print phase, where you could try making a pdf and then printing the pdf. If i had to guess at it, i would try making a custom drawing template that had none of the normal boxes for text. Not sure how to do this in solidworks as everything i have done to date has been scaled or is smaller than an A size sheet of paper. The only way i can think of doing this is to let the drawing span many pages, then tape them together. Thanky youyour question is how to get a 1:1 scale drawing printed from your standard size printer, right?

I have already made quite a few of the required forms in Solidworks and would like to know if there is any way to print them at full size using a normal printer. One of the recommended steps is drawing the plans at full size to make for easier building.

Save as eDrawings Web HTML file enables eDrawings professional users to share the designs to users who have access to web browsers who support HTML 5.I'm currently in the planning stages of building a Guillemot kayak. Virtual Reality in eDrawings Professional enables users to explore their designs at a one-to-one scale using a VR headset. View physical attributes of mechanical parts, such as weight and volume. View SOLIDWORKS animations, simulation, and plastic results to understand design intent, performance, and manufacturability.Įnables you to customize the eDrawings Viewer, create interactive web pages, and translate files. View customized products with specific parts and subassemblies. Understand product assembly and internal structure with component move and explodes. Understand product assembly and internal structure with dynamic cross sectioning. Sensitive design data can be protected by simply disabling the measurement feature. Measure geometry within eDrawing files when dimensions are missing. The File Properties panel allows users to view custom file properties defined in SOLIDWORKS documents.Įnables true design collaboration with markup functionality allowing you to create, edit, and save reviews by redlining 2D or 3D data and adding comments. Supports the creation of eDrawings from SOLIDWORKS, AutoCAD®, Inventor®, Pro/ENGINEER®, CATIA V5, SIEMENS NX, Solid Edge®, PTC Creo® software, and SketchUp®. In SOLIDWORKS Simulation, all plots are output to a single eDrawings file for viewing simulation results.Įnables easy communication for rapid prototyping and presentation purposes by saving model files in STL, TIFF, JPEG, or BMP formats. Quickly interpret and understand any SOLIDWORKS drawing by dynamically viewing the 3D model as it automatically rotates through each drawing view. With the 3D Pointer, a linked set of crosshairs appears in each of the drawing views. Use the 3D Pointer to point to a location in all drawing views in drawing files. When the pointer is moved over a section line or detail circle, the annotation for the related view is highlighted. Section line and detail circle annotations in drawing files hyperlink to the associated section or detail view. Hyperlinking views is supported in drawing files. Reduce bandwidth requirements more than 95% by publishing and emailing eDrawings files instead of CAD files.Ĭreate layouts by selecting drawing views and dragging and dropping them into the layout.
