Dumb Question
« on: August 13, 2010, 05:04:41 PM »
I need to know how to print what I'm viewing on a map I'm looking at (either in MyTopo or Topo) so that it is a one full page print, including coordinates.  I'm sure it's easy, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Hey Tony, sorry I missed this for a while.  Sometimes I don't get a notification of new posts for some reason.

Unfortunately the printing capability in TopoFusion is pretty limited.  You'll get a better fitting map if you switch to 'landscape' mode on your printer.  But there is no 'fit to page' option.

My best suggestion is to instead use the 'Export View' function to create a high res .bmp or .jpg export, and then use image software (even the Windows photo viewing software will work) to have it print to a single page.

Thanks Scott...the "Export View" thing will work.  I just wanted to be sure I was not missing something obvious, likeI sometimes do in life!
