Fot the office I am working for I have to change the titleblock. Nothing special, nothing fancy.

After I finished and wanted to makee a plot/pdf the plot size was moved for 5mm to the left and 5mm up from the papersize.

I discussed this issue with my collegues. All boundrylines and textbooxes are inside the titleblock.

Does anyone understand my problem and know how to fix it.

Greetings MH

I'm not sure what you are saying.

Unlike AutoCAD, Revit's paper limits in the family is a non-printing definition so no need for any printer offsets, just print full size.

We came across this sort of error before with one of our customers. On that ocasion however one text box was crossing the titleblock boundary by some milimeters. The text itself was inside the titleblock. The prints in Revit includes in principle all objecfts in full extent. In our case the text box that is partially outside the titleblock makes the print size becomes larger than the titleblock boundaries.

I see that you already are looking for object crossing the boundary. I can suggest that you try our plugin Docuflow and generate a PDF with it and see if you still have the same problem. It should print 100% scale and automatically recognize your sheet size.
