In the InstantPlanner Printouts dialog, you choose printing settings and finally print the desired drawing layout and lists.
You can open the print dialog in a number of different ways:
Choose Print from the File menu.
Click on the Print button on the toolbar.
Use the shortcut key Ctrl+P.
From the Print Frame component on the Tools tab.
The dialog is divided into two main fields, the Layout Drawing field and the Print List field. You can choose to print out the drawing together with the list/-s or to print one item at a time. If, for example, you only want to print a material list, you uncheck the Layout Drawing box in the Layout Drawing field and check the box in the Print List field.
In the Layout Drawing field, check the Drawing box to print your drawing layout. In the same field, you can also use the radio buttons to choose whether you want to print:
Drawing area: will print everything in the drawing area
Selected print frame: this option is only activated if there is one or several print frames on the drawing area. Choosing this option will print out the contents of the print frame (the Print frame is on the Tools tab)
All print frames: will print all the print frames in the drawing area. This option is only activated if there is one or several print frames on the drawing area.
In order to insert a company logotype on the drawing, select the Show logotype checkbox.
Proceed as follows:
Click the Browse button to select the file that you would like to insert.
Select the file and choose Open.
Click on the Preview button to see the result.

However, in order to activate the text field in which you can enter the desired scale, first click the "..." button.
