Printing difficulties
Great program - thanks!!

When I choose "Print to PDF" it uses all the same settings as the default printer with no opportunity to change them.

Even though I don't have an A3 printer I want to be able to create an A3 PDF file so that my wife can print it at her work on their A3 printer.

I found one way to do this was to add a fake printer to my computer that supports A3, then set it up with A3 as its default paper size. I then print to file and convert the postscript file to PDF. Quite a convoluted work around for what the program should allow with a couple of settings choices for "Print to PDF".

One other trouble with this is that the plan at 1:100 is too large to fit on A3 paper and so should spread over 2 pages. But I only get one page printing. Thus the bottom 1/3 of the plan it unprintable. Is there some way that I can get this missing part to print (without having to copy that part to a new file every time I want to print it)?

Perhaps you could add a "Select area to print" button. This would solve some of the other issues I have seen raised in this forum too - such as printing each room individually.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
