Paper Size:

Select the paper size you would like when this View is exported to a PDF. If your View Border is a custom size, Custom should be selected automatically for you in this box, but if it does not you can select Custom manually (it is at the bottom of the list).

NOTE: If your View Border is a Custom size but the paper size is set to a specific paper size instead of Custom, your floorplan may have White space around it.

Scale To Fit:

This option makes sure that your floorplan fits the page size you have selected above, make sure you link your View Border to the view for the best results.

Actual Scale : This option should be used if you need a PDF that is exactly to-scale, such as 1:200.

NOTE: Creating scaled PDFs is only needed if the PDF is going to be printed onto paper and then measured using a scale rule.

IMPORTANT: After exporting a scaled PDF, it must be printed correctly otherwise the scale will be irrelevant, click here for help.

Select or type in the scale you require (1:200 is the most common).
If a Red message appears, you will need to increase the Paper Size or reduce the scale accordingly.
If you are using a Custom Size View border, the paper size rquired to print it onto will be based on the size of your View Border.
