You should frequently save diagrams as you work. You can later return to the diagram by using the Open feature and choosing the file name that you saved above.
To save a diagram:
|
1. |
Choose Save or Save As from File menu. |
|
2. |
For File Name, type a name for the drawing file. |
|
3. |
Under Save In, open the folder in which you want to save the file. |
|
4. |
Click Save. |
Diagram Studio does not directly support multi-page diagrams. Instead, it provides a very simple model where a large diagram can be printed on multiple pages (postering). Postering refers to the technique of creating a very large diagram and laying it out and printing it onto a grid of sheets of paper. You can then manually attach all the sheets to form a wall poster of your diagram. The advantage of this technique is that it is very simple and flexible and lets you design your diagram right on the grid. Diagram Studio helps you do this kind of postering by letting you set up a poster grid that will display with your page boundaries.
To setup a poster grid and page boundaries:
|
1. |
Choose Page Setup from File menu. |
|
2. |
Use the Page Setup dialog box to choose the number of pieces of paper that will make up your poster. |
|
3. |
Select the paper size, and printing orientation (portrait or landscape). |
|
4. |
Click OK. |
Since all of these might effect the shape of your printed page area, you can save yourself some work by setting them before starting work on your diagram.
Diagram Studio does not force you to use page boundaries
for your diagrams. However, you will most likely want to print your diagram
at some point so we recommend that you set up your page boundaries before
constructing your diagram. To determine whether a large diagram will print
on several pages choose Page Breaks from the View menu or click Page Breaks
button on the View toolbar.
You can preview your diagram before you print to make sure
you get the result you expect. To preview a diagram before printing click
the Print Preview button on the Standard toolbar.
To print your diagram choose Print from File menu, or click
the Print button on the Standard toolbar.
