    Default Printable Graph Paper

    I've just put up an adjustable printable Graph Paper generator on blocklayer.com that might come in handy for woodworking projects.

    Printable Adjustable Graph Paper - Metric

    Lots of similar apps online, but this one can be edited to suit your needs.
    You can change Page Size (A4 to A0), Orientation, Grid Size, Bold line increments, Colour, and Intensity (brightness)
    If you select a Scale setting, it will add scaled dimensions in the margins. 1:1 - 1:2 - 1:5 - 1:10 - 1:100 and 1:500

    Also, if you need a scale rule (at any scale) to use with the graph paper, you can print one off from the Scale Rule template generator on the site.
    Scale Rules. Printable Scale Rules 1:1 through 1:200 Metric

    And the Protractor templates may come in handy too.
    Printable Protractor Templates with Arc Length by Degree Charts - Metric

    Please let me know if anything else would come in handy, or if something needs editing or fixing.

    If you can fix the button label "Calcualte" that'd be great

    Thanks Nathanael, fixed now.
    That happens a lot with those buttons.
    Might be the time for a site wide search for 'Calcualte' again.

    Sorry about that Cliff.
    Looks like I had a missing file.
    Should work OK now.

    Thanks for letting me know.

    This comes at an opportune time for me, thanks much.
    Innovations are those useful things that, by dint of chance, manage to survive the stupidity and destructive tendencies inherent in human nature.

    OK, prints now but I get a 2 page pdf, the first page is blank & the 2nd page doesn't fill the A4 page & has faint bands through it.

    I also can't get this part to work only the 'All to PDF' button works.
    To create a PDF document with a single diagram image, hit the PDF number button below and to the right of the image.

    Is isn't my day, that one says it is going to print a full A4 sheet on a single page & it comes out white on a white background.

    1. Check your blue ink.

    I have a cheap mono laser and colour inkjet at home - haven't tried printing any of these graph papers yet but typically the resolution is lower on my mono laser and I wouldn't bother trying to print something like this with feint lines and fine detail on the mono laser.

    I just changed it to go straight to the PDF page, with the same settings as the currently displayed graph paper diagram (page size, orientation etc) so no need to change settings on the other page. (The new 'Create PDF' button)
    The 'Print Diagrams' button at the bottom of all the pages, (and the one that was at the top of the old graph paper calculator), use an intermediate page that can include or remove all the diagrams on a page, and can set margins, page size, orientation etc. The graph paper generator only creates 1 full page diagram, so no need to set anything.

    Hopefully this will make it easier to use?

    My el-cheapo mono laser prints the light coloured lines ok, but I added the 'Intensity' slider so you can adjust how dark or light the lines are to suit your printer.

    Is it working ok for you now?

    Yup, that works, I still have a few feint bits on my old Mono laser but it is usable.
