I'm very new, about one day, into LibreCad, trying to make a simple drawing with two hexagrams with circles at their vertices. I started experimentally by drawing a tiny circle, whose radius I don't know where to find, but it's very small on screen. When I click Print Preview, no matter what size circle I draw, it always shows filling the whole breadth of the page.

Why is this happening, and what can I do? Also, is their no way I can show page borders in the drawing screen, so I can position my drawing elements?

  • It seems LibreCad print preview scales automatically the dimensions. You can check one time the _fix_ checkbox on the preview page and then, after further modifications, it will remain fixed. So the workaround is to draw a rectangle with the size you prefer for your page, then to go to the preview page, fix it, save the file and start to work. [Search on google](https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=librecad+tutorial) for some tutorial. – Hastur Oct 12 '16 at 09:52
