Topic: Current Page

I've been using Drawplus X8 for a number of years and I haven't found a way to get over this problem.
I mainly use the program for printing greetings cards (inside and outside), therefore,  I only want to print the Current Page and not the Entire Drawing.
So far I haven't found a way of defaulting the print Range to Current Page.  I have changed the Range to Current Page and saved the print Profile under a new name but when I then load this new profile the Range stays at the default of Entire Drawing.

I can't find a setting in the Registry either that might be overiding the profile.

Any suggestions please?

Re: Current Page

Maybe just do the inside and outside as different files?

Re: Current Page

Hello.

When I use either Pageplus (9) or Drawplus (8) I consider my page (one) as:  Front - right hand side, and Rear - Left side of the page (when folded).
A second or subsequent pages are constructed in the same way.
Sometimes I draw a thin dividing line down the centre to help when folding.

You should find then that your work prints as you want ,  - "current page" in each case.
Sometimes, a trial print in Draft mode helps check the orientation is correct for both sides etc.

I hope that helps.

Alternatively, publish as PDF. Then you’ll be able to check it in your favourite PDF viewer instead of wasting expensive ink/toner and paper.
