![]() ![]() The preview will show you what size the paper will be and this needs to match closely to the size canvas you are using. If you are scaling down for smaller canvases, make the % lower. Depending on the size canvas you are using (and the traceable), you need to play with this %. Since there’s some white space still around the unicorn, this will most likely take up an entire 16″ x 20″ canvas. That’s relatively the size of a 16″ x 20″ canvas. If you look at the “tile scale box” that I squared in red above, I entered the number 190%. Adjust the tile scale box to a higher percentage. This is going to tell the printer that you are printing a very large image, aka a “poster”. I outlined “poster in red as you see above. When the print settings dialogue box pops up, click on “poster”. That’s fine if that’s the size canvas I’m painting on but what if I want it bigger?ģ. If I were to print this now, it would be on a standard 8.5″ x 11″ canvas paper. Here you see my unicorn traceable example pop up. Remember, that if you don’t have Adobe Reader, you should be able to download it on your computer for from on the Adobe website. This should be the default application that your PDF files open in. Open the image up in Adobe Acrobat Reader. ![]() Download the PDF file of what it is you want to trace The trick is to set your print settings to print the traceable on multiple pieces of paper to be tiled together like a puzzle! You can go as large as you’d like with this. These settings may look a little different depending on what type of printer you are using. Step By Step For Printing On Large Papers (HP Printer & Adobe) I use this software now because I work mostly on my iPad tablet and the method described in the steps below doesn’t work for me anymore. It will even create traceables from paintings. Or you can try out a tool called Rapid Resizer (affiliate link) which is an online tool that will allow you to resize a traceable to any canvas size. If you have an Epson, you can see a helpful tutorial about enlarging traceables here, thanks Pamela! In this post, I will describe one little hack that works if you are using a PC with an HP printer & the free Adobe Sofware. Here it is also possible to enable printing of dimensions and texts.Over the years of running this website, I’ve learned a few tricks along the way about how to do enlarge (or shrink) traceables for all sorts of canvas sizes. The CAD Image tab includes the line weight and color settings. Note that they are not displayed in the preview area. On the Borders tab, you can enable printing of a drawing frame and cutting lines that will help to piece sheets carefully. On the Additional Settings, tab you can set the drawing position on the paper and its offset. If the Show stamp option is activated, the file name, layout name, current date, and time will be printed in the upper part of the drawing. On the Device Settings tab, it is possible to specify an output device, scale factor, paper format, its orientation, etc. Now let's move to the setting pane that includes several tabs. If you do not need some parts to be printed, right-click on them in the preview area. Here you can set a number of columns and rows into which the drawing will be split or just let ABViewer calculate the required number of sheets. The preview area shows how the drawing will look on paper. The appeared dialog window is divided into two parts: a preview area and setting area. Open your file, go to the Output tab and activate the Multipage printing command. For example, if you do not have a plotter, you can print an A1 drawing on A4 sheets and then piece them together. The Multipage printing feature enables to split a large format drawing across multiple pages as "tiles" and print them.
