Printing Floor
I need to print out the floor plan with scale in the background (if possible) for my HVAC guy and also the city inspector. I would like to print it on a larger scale to a wide format printer. Is there a way to export the created plan as a jpg, PDF or other file that can be used in Photoshop for printing? I need to have a scale for measurement in the printout. Thanks!

Re: Printing Floor
- You can print to PDF (check Page Options for scale alternatives). - When in 2d plan, you can select/copy - and then a bitmap in the clipboard will paste to a graphics editor. - You can take a screenshot (grid included).
You could also make your own scale using the dimension tool. Good luck with the city inspector

Re: Printing Floor
As .svg is a vector format, you can scale it to whatever you like without loss of quality. Not sure how well Photoshop can deal with .svg, but Inkscape will let you export high resolution .png files. Or you can print the .svg using a browser and large paper size. Using print to PDF should also - I think - allow pretty much any resolution you would like. ok
