Print your farm map

To print your map, simply select the layers you would like to print from the tree on the left hand side of the screen. You may like to make the paddocks layer transparent (to save ink) by changing the ‘fillColour’ to transparent in the properties box (You will have to select the paddock layer, then you will see the properties for that layer).

To print:

  1. Before printing, be sure that you have saved your map.
  2. Select the print button ‘print’ icon from the menu bar.
  3. A blue box representing the boundaries of your page will appear on the screen. If you want to print landscape (page rotated 90°) rather than portrait, click on ‘File’ then ‘Page Setup…’. Select ‘Landscape’ and click ‘OK’. Move your mouse over the map to update the display and show your different page orientation.
  4. Move (right mouse button and drag) and zoom (left mouse button and drag) the map until it is displaying how you want it to print on your page.
  5. If you would like to preview what the printed sheet will look like, you can click ‘File’->’Print Preview’. This will open up a preview window, and after a few seconds your preview should appear. To close the Preview window click the ‘Close’ button or the ‘X’ in the upper right corner.
Click ‘File’ -> ‘Print’ and select your desired printer and printing options, then press ‘OK’ to print your map.
