Page Setup

Top  Previous  Next

You can define the page setup with respect to printing across a scope of diagrams. These options will apply to all users when they print the selected diagram(s).

 

Note:  The page setup options of templates can be defined and these will be used unless the Override Template option is selected.

 


 

1.From the File menu choose Page Setup.

 

2.In the Print Scaling tab you can choose how to scale the diagrams.

 

Always scale diagram to fit page will scale diagrams up or down to fit the page.

Scale diagram to fit, only when larger than page will only scale down diagrams that are too large for the page. Diagrams that are smaller than the page will not be scaled up.

Scale diagram to fit user defined area allows you to define a printable area. If this option is selected then resizing handles will be present when you exit Page Setup. When you adjust the print area of one diagram then all lower level diagrams (for the current diagram and all lower levels and the current process map options) will also be set. Diagrams can also be adjusted individually. You can also enter specific dimensions for the print area by clicking Adjust Manually.

 

 

Note: The Scale diagram to fit user defined area option is pixel based and not true page size. TIBCO Nimbus®  will compress or expand the diagram to fit the standard page size of the printer that it is being sent to. A4/A3, for example, is determined by your printer and what you see on the screen is literally what you get when the page is printed.

 

3.Choose the scope of diagrams to set the printing options for.

 

Override Template will override any template page setup settings defined for applied templates. If this option is not selected then the template page setup settings will be used.

 

4.Click the Orientation and Size tab to change the print orientation, margins and header and footer font sizes.

 

The print margins define the distance from each edge of the printable area (the printable area is between the bottom of the title area at the top and the document control panel at the bottom). The Header And Footer panel allows you to change the font point sizes of the control panel and title.
