Export to PDF

PDF is the most practical format for sharing drawings – anyone can open it and it looks the same everywhere. Start the export with this icon: PDF icon or with the menu command Outputs - Export to PDF.

⚠️ The export has these limitations:

  • The maximum page size is A3.
  • Line thickness must not be 0.
If links don't work in the exported PDF file, update the program with the menu command Help - Check for updates and then export again.

How to Export to A0 Format

Need a larger format than A3? This procedure works with the virtual printer doPDF and was last tested in July 2025.

  1. Right-click the page and select Page settings.
  2. On the Print settings tab, select According to Printer and press the Options button.
  3. Select the doPDF printer. Press Properties, choose Layout and select the A0 format. Confirm all dialogs with OK.
  4. On the Page size tab, select according to the print settings.
  5. Run the menu command File - Print....
  6. Select the doPDF printer. Press Properties, choose Layout and select the A0 format.
  7. Press OK to finish the export.

How to turn on "Microsoft Print to PDF"
