  • How to print a large drawfile

    From Stuart@3:633/10 to All on Thursday, January 29, 2026 09:45:04
    Hi,

    I have a drawfile which covers an A2 sheet of paper. I would like to print
    this as four A4 sheets which I can then put together. I looked at
    !Splitdraw but it doesn't seem to do this, is there an application which
    can?

    Yes! !DrawPrint from SineNomine will do this and more. It is also free.
