how do i print the templates at 100% scale?

[bossyman15]

i tried printing templates from project arcade CD but all of them end up being full size of the paper not the right size.

how do i make it print at 100% scale?

i'm using paint (its the only program i have!)

Install the 60 day trial version (fully functional) of Paintshop Pro ( on the CD ). This will allow you to print at 100% scale. I have no idea how to print at 100% in plain MS Paint.

Find the local print shop with large format printing equipment.  It will be the one that local architects and engineers use.  Take the image files to them.

I don't know how you would print templates for an arcade cabinet full scale at home with mspaint, unless you plan on doing a lot of scotch taping.

It's a resolution setting. I figured it out a while back. I know that there's a thread concerning this in the BYOAC Book forum. I'll see if I can find it.

You can also use Adobe or something.  THe main setting you need to look for is a way to span multiple pages.  In adobe you go into the Print page and select TILE ALL PAGES and then set the paper size and it will print it out on multiple sheets you can tape together.

Other programs shoudl have the same functionality.

ok i installed that program but when i print it at 100% scale (i hope i did) the buttons didn't come out right size... the buttons are only about 3/4" wide not 1 1/8"

i tried everything i could in that program but it still comes out the same.

Did you try going into "grid guide & snap" properties and set them to grids = 1 inch? Also make sure that zoom is set at 100%?

I'm no pro at this by any means... But give it a try and let us know!

[bossyman15]

no it didn't work it's still the same

maybe something's wrong with template itself maybe its wrong size or something.

anybody have different template of 7 buttons? in jpg fomat?

[AMDman13]

Probably dumb question, but are you using the templates that are included with the "Project Arcade" chapt 6?

[bossyman15]

Yes I am. Why? Is that the problem?
