I have a problem when trying to print a hard copy of a model. The Print Preview keeps showing a very small rendering of the model, to one side of the page or in a corner. The only place I know to muck around with the settings is in Printer Properties, but it makes no difference. Can anyone help ? …

Look for the extra bit of geometry that is off to the side somewhere and remove it.

Thank you Box. I had no luck until I did a close cropped copy and past onto a fresh template. And bingo ! You’re my new best friend. Jim

Glad you got it. For future reference Hit ctrl+a to select everything. then Shift select left to right around the part of the model you want, to deselect that, hit delete and then shift+z should fit the model to the screen.
