Print Template

Print Template prints a selected part of the map base onto a template.

Templates can include a border, your company logo or address, scale details, copyright notice, etc.

Cadcorp SIS Desktop is shipped with default templates which are suitable for common paper sizes and orientations. These templates can be created in advance and used as often as required.

TIP: A list of popular templates are displayed for you to choose from. If you’d rather create your own, use the Print Template Wizard on the bottom of the screen.

Click File on the Ribbon and select Print Template.

  • Simply select any template from the displayed list; you will see a preview in the right pane.
  • Set the map frame scale using the drop-down menu.
  • Now select any one of the four options from the menu at the bottom of the screen.
