    Question Printing

    I am having a problem with printing a 30x42 sheet. Is there a way that I can make the viewport smaller so I can fit more than one view in a sheet? The scale that I am trying to print is 1/16".

    If you right click the viewport, you can choose "Activate View" to edit the view directly from the sheet. When editing the view, you can turn on the crop region by right clicking anywhere in the view, choosing "View Properties" and making sure "Crop Region" is marked. (Another way to do it is by finding the shortcut icon at the bottom of the screen that switches between cropping or not the view extents). Once the crop region is ON, you can move its edges to better fit your drawing. When it is done, you can hide the crop region by returning to the view properties and making sure "Crop Region Visible"is not marked.

    With this sets done, you can right click the view again and choose deactivate view. Will notice now that the extents of your viewport are closer to the drawing. You may want to move the view title closer to you drawing too.

    Another way to have more space on your sheet is by changing the scale you want to print, or by splitting your plan into two sheets.

    I hope it helps,
