To use a print frame, follow the instructions below:
Select the Print Frame component from the Tools tab.
Move the cursor to the drawing area. A blue frame is attached to it.
Position and stretch the size of the print frame in one step. Click and hold the left mouse button whilst dragging the cursor diagonally across the drawing layout, until all the objects that you want on your printout are inside the frame. When you are satisfied with the position, release the mouse button.
The dialog box Print Frame Settings is shown, make desired settings and click Apply (keep the dialog box open).
In order to center the objects in the print frame, proceed to the drawing area. In the upper right-hand corner of the frame you will see a yellow little box. Click on the box once. The objects in your drawing are now centered in the printable area of the frame.
Click on the Print Settings button, in the Print Frame Settings dialog, to open the dialog Standard - Print Settings.
In the Print Drawing field, check the Drawing check box.
Make sure that the print frame is activated in the drawing area (that the yellow snap points are visible). Select the Selected print frame option. If you have several print frames, and would like to print them all, select All print frames.
If you wish a logotype to appear on the printout, check the Show logotype box and browse for the bitmap file.
In the Copies field, enter the number of copies you wish to print.
If you want to see in advance what the printout will look like, click on Preview button.
If you are happy with the result, close the preview and click on Print.
