La Belle 1/36 - Plan by Jean Boudriot / myself

Interesting solution.
Generally i take monograph so i want to copy, and i take it to the printing store, then i ask for a 1:1 copy of the document and a mirror image of it. They have professional programs, so the printout is very accurate.
Then when I have two prints, left and right, i cut them to single frame and copy them again myself on a printer at home and cut them to all smal pieces. Then I know that the right copy will be the same as the left one. To be sure, I check it in GIMP.

I'll have to try your trick with the ruler.
The .pdf of Santa Ana "masts monograph" from AL website is accurate to 0,50mm on 90cm x 130cm paper board, so I am satisfied with the printing store work.

Nejprve udělejte na plánu žebro "M", tento rám je konstrukčně nejjednodušší. Pamatujte, že M má 3 spojená žebra. Rozhodně se hodí, ale to je pro tuto monografii velký problém. Nejlepší je naskenovat dokument a vykreslit zrcadlový obraz v programu a poté jej spojit do řádku. Nejjednodušší je, že výtisk musí být v měřítku 100 % vzhledem k originálu.

Ahoj. Jasně, to mám v plánu, ale místo zrcadlení nebo jiných metod zkusím polovinu žeber vyříznout a nalepit na dvě desky, které pak rozpůlím. A pak se budu jen modlit, aby byli stejní. Jinak bude následovat kontejner, nebo pohotovost v nemocnici...

Hello. Sure, that's what I plan to do, but instead of mirroring or other methods, I'm going to try cutting out half of the ribs and gluing them to two boards, which I then cut in half. And then I'll just pray they're the same. Otherwise, the container will follow, or the emergency room at the hospital...

Quick tips from my lesson library. Scan a ruler and print it with the drawing to check the precision of the scan and print.
I print my drawings from PDF and I get different prints with different PDF-Viewers! This can cause problems.
The same PDF printed in Copyshop is perfect.

Hi Oliver, I also want to be able to print parts of a PDF drawing, such as the different parts of a frame/bow, I have an HP scanner/laser printer
which I want to use to print out paper templates to make the different parts.
The question is - which PDF program do you use, can you explain how you proceed in this process from PDF to template.
BDW, has already scanned several of the drawings at a printing office.
Greetings Knut-
 
Here you have gimp and the .png or .jpg format. A bigger problem is the print resolution or lack of toner in the printer, as seen in the photo.
On the left, monofraph, on the right a scan on a Brother DCP1610 printer using - "Brother Utilites Control Center 4". Made quickly, poor quality.

@Norway I always use pdf files, even when scan drawings, always in pdf. Why? Because it will keep the dimensions intact. The resolution will not infect the dimensions. Then I use photoshop to print parts of the image. Open the pdf in photoshop. Then I open a A4 empty template. With the selection tool I copy a piece of the drawing I want to print. And paste this in the A4 template, save as pdf. Open that file in acrobat reader and print it in 100% scale. You can also use photoshop to mirror a drawing.
 
I used Acrobat reader and the drawings wasn´t correct. Now i use the PDF X-Change viewer and print the drawings with a scale factor to get "correct" drawings.
I tested the scale factor as well with Acrobat, bat the results with the x-change viewers are better.
Maybe its not the software, it can be that my PC with my printer are the problem, i dont know. But thats my way at the moment. In the copy shop they told me that the best format for a scan for print is *.jpg.

Přikládám ukázku kýlu, samozřejmě to není Oliver, ale pro začátečníka....(?)
Místo černého papíru jsem lepidlo obarvil obyčejným inkoustem a přišpendlila. Zatím to drží...

I'm attaching a sample of the hernia, of course it's not Oliver, but for the beginner....(?)
Instead of black paper, I colored the glue with ordinary ink and pinned it. So far it's holding...

Hello Oliver! So I struggled a lot with GIMP to end up going to a copyshop where 1 copy cost me half a cent. I freaked out and tried different options, but GIMP had a problem with my printer (Canon), it wouldn't allow anything but one function - the number of copies. After printing, the dislocation was 2-5mm.
G9IMP never again.

First, make rib "M" on the plan, this frame is the simplest in construction. Remember that M has 3 joined ribs. They definitely fit, but this is a big problem for this monograph. It's best to scan the document and plot a mirror image in the program and then join it to a line. The easiest thing is that the printout must be at a scale of 100% to the original.
