I have reported this problem 17th July to Ribbonsoft but got so far no response. I first noticed this when trying to make a PDF export for a 297 mm x 630 mm page size. The application froze and I got no PDF file. Using standard page sizes worked ok.
There was something strange also in the preview window: I had drawn the drawing using meters as unit and 1:100 scaling. However in print preview window the scaling had to be set to 10:1 to fill the page. The units for custom page size in current drawing preferences seems to be always millimeters, but the odd scaling would IMO hint that the values are not interpreted correctly.
The same problems were present also when trying to print to file using real printer driver.
I have tried QCad both in Opensuse 10.3 and Windows XP with the same results.
Anyone else having the same problem? Any ideas how to get around the problem while waiting for real fix?

Hi
yes I too am having a similar problem in Mac OS X Leopard. I don't have a problem with printing from and to A4, however printing an A3 (or any other size) results in a small section of the drawing only been shown (scaling up don't work).
Andrew, if this a QT problem, don't stand for it. You (we) are paying for Trolltech.

Ditto - Unable to print custom sizes.
Spent hours of time and lots of paper trying to print a custom size.
Guess I should have came to the forum sooner!
For what it's worth my system is: Mac OSX 10.4.11 (Tiger)
I will try the work around as described above and edit this post with results.
[edit] Nah, I give up, too much waste of time. Guess I will have to purchase a supported plotter or go back to pencil and ruler.

Break out the champagne. That is good news.
Couldn't find my ruler anyway.
