Re: Displayed page breaks?

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

The page breaks lie where the margins lie (with scale set to 100%).  This way you don't have to look at white space if your Dia get bigger than a page.

1" margins all around letter size gives you 6.5 x 9 inches of room on the page.  That is 16.51cm x 22.86 cm.  Base units for Dia are cm.  As far as I know there are no glitches in this, only arithmetic mistakes.

Hi,

Brand new, so forgive me if I'm asking something silly.  I saw a discussion about this in the archives, but there didn't seem to be any resolution.

OK, I have opened a new diagram.  I'm a Merkan, so I have set the page size to "Letter" and I'm using landscape mode.  The paper size says 21.6cm x 27.9cm.  The margins say top: 13.47mm Bottom: 13.47mm Left:10.30mm Right: 10.30mm.  If I understand correctly, then the page breaks should be 21.6cm - 13.47mm - 13.47mm (189.06mm) tall and 27.9cm - 10.30mm - 10.30mm (258.4mm) wide, right?  Then why are they displayed at ~164mm tall and ~229mm wide according to the rulers?

Regards,
Doug
