Title: Multi Panel Print resolution
Post by: Martin van Gog on December 16, 2022, 03:59:03 PM
Hi,
I am trying to generate an A0 file from an A4 file.
When I enter the values, in mm, according to Wikipedia.org, I get an error; "Panel sizes is to big (*** x ***). Each individual panel must not exceed the printable range of one page (*** x ***)
When I calculate the printable values using my calculator;
A4: 204 x 291
A3: 289 x 406
A2: 406 x 578
A1: 578 x 812
A0: 812 x 1156
Each format gives the same error.
If I use the 'row/column' option, and for example fill in 3 x 3, all panels, in the preview, will be printed on 1 (one) page.

Is there anyone who can help me solve this challenge?
With regards, Martin
the Netherlands

Not sure what you are doing here: why is your panel size much larger than the print size?  That doesn't make sense.  My only guess is that you are doing this backwards: your print size should be 812x1156 and your panel size 203.9 x 291.

This is much simpler than that anyway.  When you first start, just enter the final print size you want and click "Generate".  It'll figure out all the panels for you automatically.  This is all covered in the video.

Regards,
Mike

Thx, Mike
That works.

From A4 to A0 it renders 18 panels.
