Printing oreview and PDFs

Post by vdanny » Wed Oct 10, 2018 8:20 pm

When I go to preview print. Qcad Pro places a sheet (ie 11x17 or 8.5x11 etc.) in the middle of the drawing. Versus on my drawing files. I have all the plans, one plan next to another, in 1 file so that i can easily copy & paste from one to another and or for reference. See attached screenshot.
So, when I print i must copy and paste that drawing (ie foundation, framing etc.) to the area that Qcad provides and then delete when done and do the same for the next drawing. Is there a way to have that printing area moved to where i have the drawing or another way to speed this up?

Please refer to our two printing tutorials:
