Hi Guys. I've managed to get a trackplan to appear on sketchboard but it only seems to want to print it on one A4 sheet. How can you change this please? Cheers Dave in 00-SF |

To print the sketchboard design on multiple sheets like the track templates, use the normal template printing or PDF export functions in the output menu: 2_240057_360000000.png  On the preview, tick the print sketchboard items option. You can swap between detail mode and diagram mode as required. You can control the number of pages needed by scaling the output at output > enlarge/reduce size for print, PDF, DXF > menu options. undefined There are some options for this function: 2_240110_570000000.png  But don't change the defaults without being sure what you are doing. For more information about it, see: message 14838 and near the bottom of: message 14644 2. printing directly from the sketchboard file menu scales the sketchboard page to fit the printer page. The way to get it on a larger sheet is to use say an A3 printer and set A3 as the paper size in the printer setup. There is currently no way to print directly without page scaling, I will add this as an option to the next update. Thanks for drawing my attention to this. There is more flexibility if you do a PDF export directly from the sketchboard file menu. In this case the document size is set to match the sketchboard page size (on the yellow rulers). You can then print it from a PDF reader program using whatever scaling and tiling options that program provides. The sketchboard page size can be changed to whatever you want -- like this: 2_240029_410000000.png  (normal means 260mm x 180mm; custom means you have set any size, including large sizes up to 10 metres for wide-format roll paper printing at a digital copyshop.) Then to make your sketchboard design fit the new page, click the update now button: 2_240035_220000000.png  regards, Martin. |

Thank you very much, Martin. All sorted. As usual, my fault as I hadn't noticed the new print commands on the last print dropdown. Dave |
