Plot

The Tools > Plot Wizard command allows you to quickly create a plot as Vertical or Horizontal and send it to your Windows printer.
​
You also have the option to place the drawing form or get the command to fit the drawing to the paper.
​

It includes a Plot Wizard option that provides for various commands to generate a plot of your roof automatically fitting to various page or sheet sizes.
​
The operator can also insert a drawing border, plot in colour or a ‘hidden lines’ view where lines behind are blanked out.
​

Either of the other options requires the operator to select and set the plot extents.
​
The paper size selected is A4 if your Set-Up > Preference Settings > System Preferences > Units are set metric, or Letter size if the units are set to English or Imperial.
​

This command lets you place the drawing form (A4 or letter size) over an area of the drawing for plotting in a vertical orientation.

Click Vertical, and the Windows Print dialog box is displayed.
