Visualizing the Print Area

You can visualize the print area (providing it is activated), so as to reposition or redimension it for example.

Before you begin: Open a drawing representation. Right-click a sheet and select Properties. In the Sheet tab, select Activate under the Print area.

  1. Right-click the sheet node in the tree and select Sheet.X object > Print Area > Edit Print Area.

    This zooms onto the print area, which is outlined as a purple dashed box, with an X cross at its center.

  2. Use the handles at the corners of the box to redimension the print area.
  3. Drag the dashed box or the central X cross to reposition the print area.



    You can then exit the print area visualization mode by pressing the Escape key or by clicking elsewhere in the drawing. You can see the sheet properties to verify that the coordinates, width, or height are updated.

  4. Change the sheet properties as wanted, and then click OK to validate.
