  • How to print a large drawfile

    From Stuart@Spambin@argonet.co.uk to comp.sys.acorn.apps on Thu Jan 29 09:45:04 2026

    Hi,

    I have a drawfile which covers an A2 sheet of paper. I would like to print
    this as four A4 sheets which I can then put together. I looked at
    !Splitdraw but it doesn't seem to do this, is there an application which
    can?

    Artworks will do it.

    I've printed out stuff much larger than A0, and done a lot of sticking
    A4 sheets together!

    Yes! !DrawPrint from SineNomine will do this and more. It is also free.

    Well done Steve. A good reminder.
