Print This Version

For best results, Roadmap Drawings should be designed to fit to one (1) page in a portrait layout, by keeping all objects within the boundaries of the Drawing Canvas Print Frame.

NOTE: The Web Tool does not currently support landscape layout or multi-page printing.

  • From the TOOLS menu, click printer.png print this version to render a Roadmap Drawing for printing from the browser menu.
  • Set your browsers print settings to "print background images" so that titles of boxes print white over dark colored boxes.
Setup Firefox
* Click File → Page Setup...
* Make sure Options - Print Background (colors & images) is checked
* Click OK to save

NOTICE: Some users experience printing issues with IE8. We are not able to control these results as it is dependent on browser rendering. These results may change with future releases of Internet Explorer. For best printing results please use Firefox.
