Printing to scale

Hi all

Just wondering if its possible to print 1 to 1 scale using MS paint or any other graphics programme if the item that is been printed, is say a curved window centre line about 1.4m long.
Someone over at hovercontrol mentioned this beign discussed here somewhere and you convert it to PDF.

Regards

Most programs should allow 1:1 scale printing, but it actually depends more on your printer than the program. Adobe Acrobat allows endless possiblities.

I uploaded a pdf of a 737 MIP, Overhead, etc in order for people to select the area they want and print it out at 1:1 scale utilizing any printer. If you want to print a very large image/document using a normal letter size printer Adobe Acrobat allows tiling to do that too.

Whatever program you use make sure you select a custom paper size that is large enough to print the image/document.

If you have any problems, let me know and I can convert the document to pdf for you.

Thanks autocadplease

I am printig 1:1 with MS EXCEL (737-Overhead).
You can try this http://homokaasu.org/rasterbator/

Thanks skino
Tried out rasterbator but it seems to only print with dots which you can change the size of ,don't think you are able print normal lines.

I didn't know you could use MS excell?

Is there a programe out there that will let me import an image so I scale it or get measurements

Cheers
