What Mac OS are you running?

Long Story: I have been running my late 2015 27" iMac under Sierra. When High Sierra came out, I upgraded, but ran into a font problem (i.e. Myriad and Avant Garde wouldn't print properly), so I downgraded to Sierra. Besides PC, I rely heavily on Quicken, and, starting next month, Quicken will requi...

Re: PDF Printing issues in PCadd 9

You've probably already done this, but...
In the print dialog box, do you have it expanded to "show details" and verified that the scale is set to 100%?

Re: PowerCADD Future

Seeing Apple’s new Mac Studio rinded me of the old days when forum users would get excited about imminent hardware upgrades. Hopefully, when PC is compatible with current hardware, we’ll have that opportunity again.

Re: PDF Printing issues in PCadd 9

Speaking of PDFs and cross-platform compatibility… I am running Sierra on a 2015 iMac. Occasionally, I’ll get a PDF from a client, created from Revit or AutoCADD or some other application, and when I open it in Preview, I see rectangles around the text and the PDF is barely readable. If I then “plac...

Re: Print dialog gone

Friendly reminder to keep back-ups of the preference files and the stationary folder. Due to anomalies, I occasionally replace my preference files with the backed up copies. I also occasionally run into a situation where PC won't start up. It will bounce in the dock, then crash. I find that reinstal...

Re: PDF Printing issues in PCadd 9

Similar to John I also use Preview to combine the separate pdf files into one pdf file for emailing to clients. Me, too. Also, when setting up my documents in PowerCADD, I have custom sheet sizes with no border (set up through the Manage Custom Sizes in Page Setup), such as 24"w x 36"h with user de...

Re: Hatch printing too large, sheet size incorrect

You've probably thought of this, but might it have something to do with your "page setup" configuration, in particular custom sheet sizes? I some times have similar (but different) issues when I've deleted a printer and added a new one.

Re: PC won't launch

I have a random situation, where, when starting up PC, it will crash upon launching. The only way I can seem to solve this situation is to either: 1. replace my preferences (with a back up copy) 2. reinstall PC, launch PC to see if it works, quit, then replace my preferences (with that back up copy...

Re: Mike Cleveland

Although I hadn't thought of Mike in years, upon hearing of his passing, I was reminded of many interactions I had with him (late 1990's?) chasing various bugs in PC. He was very helpful and kind.
