Frame (Settings for the Print Area dialog)
Previous Topic  Next Topic 

Note: The Setup Print Area dialog configures settings for the canvas that is currently active.  If you want to configure one of the other canvases, first select the relevant canvas from the drop-down list.


The Print Area is a rectangle that specifies which area of the map you want to print.  This can be used to print a part of the map, for example if the course only occupies a small area, and you do not want to print the entire map.

Each individual canvas has separate Print Area settings.

You configure the rectangle the the Print Area covers, directly in the Course Layout Editor.  Use the menu  "Course Layout" / "Show/Hide Print Area" to show the print area rectangle.  Then select the print area by clicking on the frame.  Drag either of the black handles at the corners or the middle of the sides of the rectangle to resize the Print Area, and drag anywhere on the frame to move the Print Area.

Condes can draw a frame around the Print Area if you check the "Draw frame" box.  If no frame is used, the Course Layout Editor uses a red line to indicate the Print Area border.

The Print Area frame settings can be set individually for each course, or they can be shared among all courses on the canvas.

Print Area
You can define a rectangular area on the canvas, which is called the Print Area.  When printing, you can choose to print the area defined as Print Area.

The Print Area is indicated with a red rectangle on the screen, unless you have turned off the Print Area.

When you have configured the Print Area with a colored frame, then this frame will be shown instead of the red rectangle.

You can select the Print Area by clicking on the red line (or the frame).  When selected, you can resize and move the Print Area.
