Size and orientation of layout

Resizing factor, Adjust to paper

Allows the layout to be stretched in a centric manner: values > 1 enlarge the layout evenly along the x and y axes 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 and/or orientation of the page or the format and/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°.

• A page without margins is resized in such a way that it is within the printable area of the output device.
• A page with margins is resized in such a way that it is within the paper size of the output device. The margins of the output device are ignored. The margins of the page are taken into account but they are not resized. Only the printable area of the page is resized.

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 the pen thickness is retained or resized correspondingly.
