(...) Ok so it's been a few years, but I took another look at this. Did anybody ever make a twist primitive? It appears like all you need to do is something like this. Don 0 Wedge 4 x 2 Sloped Left 0 Name: 43721.dat 0 Author: Donald Sutter 0 (...) (14 years ago, 22-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) It's true that 8.5"x11" (US letter size) is not the same size as metric A4, but the above page includes an entry for QPrinter::Letter, which is exactly 8.5"x11", so unless that's not supported by LPub, I don't think that's the problem. (...) (14 years ago, 21-Sep-10, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
