How do I make the print preview model the same size as the actual model? When I look at the preview it is so small you can hardly see it.

Get the model to fill the drawing window - use Zoom Extents, or zoom in closer.

And make the drawing window aspect ratio as close as possible to the proportions of the paper you are printing on.

Then try again.

If that still doesn’t work, upload your model so we can see what’s going on.
