Smart PDF Print layer different scale
« on: May 15, 2016, 04:14:19 pm »
Hi,

i have a small PCB (35mmx35mm) and trying to output a pdf file in A4 format. so i need to scale up all layer except one where goes all the details about the PCB, company logo, pcb rev and all that crap that should remain as it is.

I know altium can print on scale the whole thing  but i never saw that it can scale individual layers. Is it possible and am missing where it can be configured ?

I don't think there's any way to do that with a normal PDF print, but the latest release (16.1) is supposed to come with some very nice drawing generation tools.  If you have access to it, it's probably worth looking at.
