Print

The Print command (under the File menu) can print all or a portion of the layout.

When you select the Print command, a grid is drawn on the layout which represents each printed page. Clicking on the layout will select (or deselect) pages to be printed.

The Print dialog contains a number of control areas:

The size of each page is controlled by:

Gaudy printouts show title, creator, date and other information. Plain printouts show page sequence numbers and corner coordinates which are useful if you are making multiple printouts that you can paste together. When Print Scale is 1:1, Gaudy and Plain printouts show registration marks every 3 inches (or 10 centimeters for Metric units), which can be used to align separate printouts.

Bare printouts have no decorations.

You can manually enter the Width and Height values to override the maximum values. You cannot enter values larger than the page size times the Scale.

If you are printing multiple pages which you want to paste together, then you can select the Physical page Size. This allows the printouts to abut without triming. Note: there will still be a unprintable margin on the printout.

The orientation of the print grid is displayed by:

You can set these values by dragging on the layout. Left-drag moves the grid and right-drag rotates the grid.

The Print button prints the selected pages and removes the Print dialog.

The Setup button invokes the Printer Setup dialog.

The Clear button deselects all selected pages.
