Printing a Layout

Use the
Print tool button   or the Print command in the File menu to open the Print dialog and print the layout in the canvas.

Printing Selected Objects

If you only want to print a selection of the layout proceed as follows:
  1. Select the objects you want to print
  2. Use the Selected Objects > Print command in the File menu to open the Print dialog.

The print area will in this case not correspond to the complete page size of the canvas. It will only include the bounding box of the selected objects.

Locked objects cannot be selected and can therefore not be printed by this method.

Printer Selection

You can select printer in the Print dialog. You may also preselect the printer by means of the Printers command in the File menu which will open the Printer Selection dialog.

Printer Setup

Select printer options from the
Printer Setup dialog which you can open from the Print dialog or by means of the Printer Setup command in the File menu.

Save as Image

You can save the layout in the canvas as an image file in any of the
supported image file formats.

Use the Save As Image command in the File menu to open the Image Conversion dialog where you can specify the format, options and image size.

The Save tool button   cannot be used as a shortcut for saving the layout as an image. It is used to save the layout for later reuse.

Saving Selected Objects

If you only want to save a selection of the layout as an image proceed as follows:
  1. Select the objects you want to print
  2. Use the Selected Objects > Save As command in the File menu to open the Image Conversion dialog.

The image area will in this case not correspond to the complete page size of the canvas. It will only include the bounding box of the selected objects. You can thus use this method to avoid a white margin around the saved image.

Locked objects cannot be selected and can therefore not be saved by this method.

Send the Layout

You can send the layout in the canvas as an image file attached to an E-mail message.

Use the Send command in the File menu to open the Send To dialog where you can specify the file format, options and image size.

Sending Selected Objects

If you only want to send a selection of the layout as an image proceed as follows:
  1. Select the objects you want to print
  2. Use the Selected Objects > Send command in the File menu to open the Send To dialog.

The image area will in this case not correspond to the complete page size of the canvas. It will only include the bounding box of the selected objects. You can thus use this method to avoid a white margin around the image.

Locked objects cannot be selected and can therefore not be sent by this method.
