Publishing and Sharing
To print a poster or banner from a standard size page:
1.
First create your standard sized page (e.g., A4).
2.
On the Print dialog's Layout tab, check Print tiled pages for
overlapped multiple sheets.
3.
Set the As in document "% Scale factor" to print at a larger size (e.g.
300%).
Printing business cards and labels
While DrawPlus can deal with large-format documents it is equally suited to
documents where the design can be repeated multiple times on the same page
during printing. Set up your drawing beforehand using File>Page Setup... (with
the "Small" document type option) to preview and select a particular preset
arrangement.
At print time, you can set the "Multiple pages per sheet" option to Repeat pages
to fill sheet, Each page N times or Full sheet of each page in the Print>Layout
tab. You can tell DrawPlus to skip a certain number of regions on the first sheet
of paper—useful if, for example, you've already peeled off several labels from a
label sheet, and don't want to print on the peeled-off sections.
If you haven't set up the drawing as a Small Drawing, but still want
to print multiple pages per sheet, try using the Fit Many option.
Printing thumbnails
•
Under "Special Printing" on the Print dialog's Layout tab, set the "Print
as thumbnails" option to print multiple pages at a reduced size on each
printed sheet, taking printer margins into account. Specify the number
of thumbnails per sheet in the value box.
DrawPlus will print each page of the document at a reduced size, with the
specified number of small pages or "thumbnails" neatly positioned on each
printed sheet.
