(...) OK. I tested the results using 11.0 by 8.5 which results in a landscape page fitting the page area. Unfortunately my design does not fit anymore, but I guess I have to edit it to get a landscape result. Back to the drawing board for me, I say! (...) (18 years ago, 25-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
