GeoPlan Print Dialog

This dialog is displayed when printing from the GeoPlan Window using the classic method of printing. It allows some custom InfoWorks ICM options to be set, as well as the standard options that would be expected from the Windows Print Setup Dialog.

To display the dialog, select the File | Print menu option when the GeoPlan Window is the current window.

Print page

This page allows you to change the scale of the printed output.

The Scale box displays the current scale as taken from the GeoPlan. You may want to adjust this to the nearest standard used scale, such as 1:10,000.

In addition, the display of the printed output can be fine-tuned by using the Map and Poster sliders for both the draw and the title styles. The Map configuration produces small symbols, fonts and line widths, giving a map-like finish to the print, so it can be taken into the field as a reference, for example. On the other hand, setting the styles to Poster does the reverse scaling to generate a printout that will be more suitable for display at a conference or in a presentation where the audience is likely to be further away.

Page setup page

This page allows you to choose whether additional information is displayed on the printed output from options in the Elements section.

Example of Custom page for ICMLive Configuration Manager

You can include a piece of Rich Text Format text to use as a custom logo on your GeoPlan printout. You can either Load an existing Rich Text (.rtf) file created in an external package such as Microsoft Word, or paste text or images into the box and then Save them as a Rich Text file. This file is then included in the logo area of each printout.

You may have to manipulate the size of text and bitmaps outside InfoWorks ICM to display the logo to best effect.

Check Default Logo to use the default logo for the database. See Setting the Default Logo for details.

Note

If you are using a 64 bit version of InfoWorks ICM, and the RTF file contains an image, then the image will not be displayed in the Logo pane of the Custom Options Page.

RTF text is not affected and will still be displayed in the Logo pane.

You can view the logo (RFT text and/or image) before printing by clicking the Preview button, or by choosing Print preview from the File menu.

Print preview

A print preview option is available when printing the GeoPlan View using the classic method of printing. Access the preview by choosing Print preview from the File menu, or clicking the Preview button on the GeoPlan Print dialog.
