When the "Layout" is selected in paper space for the Plot Area in the Print Dialog box, nothing will plot. If I choose extents, it will print, but not to scale. I have a Canon iPF785.

Hello Kyle,

what version of nanoCAD do you use?
I can't repeat your problem.
So check that you select correctly paper size and scale, and your drawing does not go beyond a sheet.

I have a similar issue. When in the plot dialog and I select layout, the drawing does not fit on the page. If I set it to Extents, and have a rectangle drawn representing the page, it will scale properly. Of the attached "...plotarea1.png" shows what I get and more closely to the desired. The red arrow and box shows what is plotted if the plot is set to Layout. Attached image "...plotarea2.png" shows what I get if using Layout instead of Extents.

When printing with Layout as print area, if I set the plot scale to 0.0395 inches = 1, the plot preview shows and prints the desired plot as in the previously attached uploaded "...plotarea1.png". But when I go back to the layout, my veiwport is a tiny little window in the left bottom corner.
