I am unable to get the scale to fit option to work correctly with PowerLogic 5.2. Mentor appears to be having difficulty repeating what I am observing, so I seek someone for a sanity check.
Try This:
Create new schematic.
Set sheet size to 'B'.
Set snap/display grid to 250 .
Delete existing sheet border if any.
Draw 16.5 x 10.5 rectangle to leave 1/4 margin on 17 x 11 workspace.
In print options, set to "scale to fit".
Check "Plot Jobname".
Uncheck "Plot Window".
Plot the page to 8.5 x 11 paper in landscape mode
When I do this, I get the filename/timestamp in the upper left corner of the page, with about a .2" margin. But the rectangle that is ploted is only 8.85 x 5.6. This leaves over 1" of blank space on the left and right sides of the page. Sure, PowerLogic is scaling the plot to "fit", but it could make it fit a lot better!!!
I have tried this on multimple computers, multiple printers, and even to PDF with Adobe Acrobat. The bottom line is that the scale to fit function does not work for me.
Can anyone else confirm or deny this behavior.
