ready to transfer roctave divider pcb?

[fogwolf]

I'm having trouble with the GIF file at General Guitar Gadgets (http://www.generalguitargadgets.com/diagrams/rcktav.gif) - no matter what I do it's printing out at around 8"x4" - that's not right is it? The scale on the image shows it should be something more like 4.5"x2.5". If anyone has a PDF or a correctly sized ready to transfer image it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,
You can resize the image if you do a screen capture of the image and then open it in an image editing program. I've been using Publisher for this type of thing for years. With Publisher you scale by percentage.  What you would have to do is measure one of the scales on your print of the board and divide that number into the actual value the scale is suppose to measure, multiply by 100 and you have the percentage you need to scale by.  Print it again measure and make any necessary  adjustments.  This is part of the work-around used to convert boards created in ExpressPCB to a correctly sized workable image.
