Assembly drawing weird scale

[usbalbin]

Hi!

I have some problems with the assembly drawing not showing the entire PCB. Also I would prefer if it would also show my drawings in the fab layer (the boxes and arrows).

The (I think?) relevant config

- name: print_pdf
    comment: "PDF for the PCB"
    type: pcb_print
    dir: PCB
    options:
      force_edge_cuts: true
      keep_temporal_files: true
      # Append the variant to the title
      title: "+ (%V variant)"
      # This is the worksheet we selected in the project, no need to specify it again
      # sheet_reference_layout: pcb_print.kicad_wks
      scaling: 2.0
      pages:
        - layers: [ F.Paste, F.Adhes, Dwgs.User, F.Fab ]
          sheet: 'Fabrication layers'
        - layers:
            - layer: F.Cu
            - layer: F.Mask
              color: '#14332440'
            - layer: F.SilkS
            - layer: Dwgs.User
          sheet: 'Top layer'
        #- layers: [ GND.Cu, Dwgs.User ]
        #  sheet: 'GND plane'
        #- layers: [ Power.Cu, Dwgs.User ]
        #  sheet: 'Power plane'
        - layers:
            - layer: B.Cu
            - layer: B.Mask
              color: '#14332440'
            - layer: B.SilkS
            - layer: Dwgs.User
          sheet: 'Bottom layer'
          mirror: true

Any ideas as to what I might be doing wrong?

I also tried adding under options:

autoscale_margin_x: 32
autoscale_margin_y: 40

Also notice how page 2 and 3 seems to be better centered around the PCB

You are explicitly asking for scale == 2, so you get scale == 2 for the 3 pages, is just that in the first you included some drawing that doesn't fit in the page when scaled 2:1

autoscale_margin_x will do nothing because you are not using autoscale.

In the layer options you can specify which layers are used to compute the center, look for use_for_center. This defaults to True for all layers, using invert_use_for_center you can reverse its meaning and just mark one layer to False.
If you select the Edge.Cuts as the only for centering you'll be able to make all the drawings look equally centered. Just play with the options (and read the docs)

About the boxes and arrows on Fab layer, I don't know what exactly do you want. Create a small example to show what's missing.

You are explicitly asking for scale == 2 [...]

Oh..🤦 Somehow missed that, thanks. That makes sense :)

In the layer options you can specify which layers are used to compute the center, look for use_for_center [...]

I will try that

Thanks a lot!

Removing the scale == 2 thing and moving the entire PCB down 50mm so all the drawings fits inside the page frame resolved the issue. Thank you!
