Hi ,

I am new to mastercam, please kindly inform me how to print 1:1 scale in mastercam

Say I draw a box ( 50mm x 50mm ), how to print it so it will be 50mm x 50mm on paper ?

How accurate ? +- 0.5mm
What version of mastercam ?

V9 had a PLOT function where the scale can be dialed in quite accurately ( maybe get +-0.3mm )
Version X onwards you can scale by 1% increments, where 100% being 1:1 ( you might get +-0.5mm)

create a box of known size and then measure the plot/print for accuracy

Thanks Superman,

it is X3, I just wondered why it cannot print exactly ( within 0.1 mm )

Maybe my printer can not output precisely
