Re: Printing and standardized sizes

[Michael Ross <michael e ross gmail com>]

If you color the page break lines to something other than the background color, then you can see how it will print on the page (does not represent whatever margins you have set up). Go to File/Diagram Properties/Colors to set this.

If you have drawn outside the lines of your page printed area, then you can scale the page using File/Page Setup.

Also Page setup is where you configure the margins and select the paper size and orientation.  FYI, the units of the rulers are always centimeters.

There a good number of messages in the archive about this.

To Whom it May Concern:

I recently started using the DIA freeware to makes a flowchart for the organization that I work for. My question is, is there an easy way to fit all the boxes onto one printable area? I have already made the flowchart, and I don't necessarily want to go through again and redo the whole thing. Please let me know if this is possible. Also please let me know if there is a way to standardize the sizes of the boxes and text. Thanks much for your help.
