Size and orientation

Resizing factor / Adjust to paper

You can use this setting to stretch the printout in a centric manner: Values > 1 enlarge the layout evenly along the x-axis and the 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. In this case, 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. 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°.

• The program resizes a page without margins so that the page is within the printable area of the output device.
• The program resizes a page with margins so that that the page is within the paper size of the output device, ignoring the margins of the output device. However, ALLPLAN takes into account the margins of the page but does not resize the page margins; that is to say, the program resizes only the printable area of the page.

Rotation by 90°

The program rotates the layout by 90 degrees before printing. 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

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

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.
