How to Print Footprint in Real Size on Page by printer
Bitu , 09-06-2025, 12:02 PM
Hi ,One of my friends suggested that after creating any component footprint in Altium, I should print it on paper in actual size and then place the component on it to check the correctness. But whenever I try to print from Altium, the footprint does not come out in actual size.Could you please guide me on how to print the footprint in actual size from Altium?Thanks!

How do you print? Direct to a printer or via PDF?Is the paper size correct? What are the settings for the printer?Place the footprint on a PCB and then print the PCB.

When selecting output for job file, for real size printing I never use the Altium's build in PDF output, never worked. Try to add your couputer PDF printer and then be sure you select correct paper size and actual size when printing the pdf on paper

You can have a look at some of my Altium tutorials on youtube how I do that https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWIzhbQaZZk&t=26311s
