Printing selection to specific papersize?
Posted: Fri Aug 10, 2007 10:25 am
Hello...
I have been using Qcad for about 8 months or so, with great success and efficiency.... the only thing that I find cumbersome is printing a specific selection to a specific paper size (where scale is not important).
For example, let's say I draw 10 panels (within one qcad drawing) for a timber frame house and want to print only one panel to an A3 sheet of paper - obviously, because all ten panels are on the one sheet (separating the panels onto different drawings would be too inefficient) if I go into print preview and then select to reduce to fit and centre drawing then it reduces the whole drawing (all ten panels) down to fit on A3 and then centers everything within the A3 sheet. While these features are great what would be additionally great would be if I could go into print preview, highlight a specific area of the overall drawing (say, one panel) and then reduce that specific selection to my chosen paper size and centre it within that within one or two clicks!!
I assume this feature is not within Qcad 2.0.5.0 [Community Edition], is it?
Otherwise it would make an excellent enhancement to an invaluable tool if it is not already implemented in the latest edition.
Otherwise I might be missing an otherwise method of doing what I am talking about!!!???
Thanks
Jamie.
