Printing to 1:1 scale
I want to print a circle with 30mm diameter.
Can I do it with WB Sketcher ?
If not what else ?
Which is the workflow ?
Thanks

Re: Printing to 1:1 scale
Use TechDraw_Module, add a view, set the scale to 1:1, print it / export a PDF

Thanks M4x.
But first I have to create a 3d model - in this case a cylinder. Not so convenient in all cases.

Re: Printing to 1:1 scale
You can have a view of a sketch or a wire.....
Re: Printing to 1:1 scale
When you make the 2D circle in Draft wb it will be imported in techdraw

Re: Printing to 1:1 scale
if it doesn't have to be very precise and should be quick, then you could create a test print from the 3d window. measure the results and adjust the zoom factor using the settings zoom factor, unfortunately it has rough steps, but after that it should fit reasonably.
Re: Printing to 1:1 scale
I have used the "view of a sketch" numerous times when I wanted a scaled outline drawing. Usually 1X scale, but can be adjusted to suit.
Working in the main window (not the sketch task panel) simply make the sketch visible, orient it correctly, and hide everything else.
Select the sketch and add the view to the Techdraw template.
Export.

I'm with GeneFC. I bet that it's faster than any manual adjustments.

Sorry for the delay to answer: You know ....
Thanks thomas-neemann that's the way I did it so far, but I need something more straight any more.
GeneFC, M4x thank you too I will try it.
