Struggeling with Viewports and printing

Post by RobB » Tue Jun 25, 2019 4:30 pm

Setting up printing from scratch using viewports has been very frustrating, and I am wondering what I am doing wrong.
[yes, I have read the 'Printing' and 'Working with Layout Blocks and Viewports']

I installed (because of some block issues) the latest snapshot (322.1.2) and restarted by creating a file with 'new' (no template).
I can (test 53) use the layout1 viewport, but the printable area (I assume that that is the small white spot) seems to be extremely small...
Added viewports have the same problem.

What is wrong here?

Thanks, Rob

Please check your paper size:

If you cannot solve the problem, please attach or e-mail the drawing file.
