The exported drawing looks different from the result I need

Review framing, visibility, title block, key and print scale in the export preview.

Why this can happen

The export uses its selected view, visibility and presentation settings. Printing can introduce another scale change.

What to do

  1. Open Export and choose the required view and file format.
  2. Check framing, title block, key and visibility settings, then select Preview export.
  3. Zoom into the preview to inspect text, dimensions and page edges. Use Back to settings to revise it.
  4. For a scale drawing, choose a numeric scale in a 2D PDF and print at actual size (100%). For both views, review and download each output separately.

Check before you continue

Fit-to-page output and 3D views are not to scale. Free Preview includes watermarked PNG/JPG; PDF/SVG and floor-plan uploads require a paid plan.
