Print cut off

From a QCAD user:
When printing my drawing, some of the drawing is cut off. Do I have to move my drawing?

No. You can simply move the paper around under your drawing using the tool "Move Paper Position" (paper and hand icon in options toolbar at the top):

In addition....

if you have set the paper size you need - in most wanted cases big enough for the drawing! Then using the 'Auto Center' option will help as a first step and then as Andrew points out move the paper manually to suit if needed.

For the best support please state your operating system, QCAD version and add any supporting DXF/DWG files, screenshots etc...
