Resizing factor / Adjust to paper

Allows the printout to be stretched in a centric manner: values > 1 enlarge the layout evenly along the x-axis and y-axis by the factor you enter.

If you use Windows drivers, you can select the Adjust to paper option instead of entering the resizing factor directly in the data entry box. As a result, the resizing factor adapts automatically when you change the format or orientation of the page or the format or orientation of the paper used by the output device. In order to calculate the resizing factor, the program adjusts the page to the paper used by the output device. Allplan does not automatically rotate the layout by 90°.

Rotation by 90°

The layout is printed rotated by 90 degrees. When you select Optimize location, the program automatically rotates the layout if this is required.

Resize pen thickness

You can specify whether Allplan is to resize or retain the pen thickness.

Output area

You can limit output of the current layout to a section you define. For example, this is useful if you want to check only a particular area and you are short on time.

You can find more information in "Output area of layouts".

Centered / Offset to left / Offset to bottom

These options are only available if you have already defined an output area: You can define the position of the section in the current output format.
