Layouts and PDF

Layouts arrange scene views and supporting information on printable pages.

Prepare a page

  1. Open View → Layout Views → Layout Mode View. Show the Layouts panel from View if needed.
  2. Select a layout, or use Add to create one. Rename and Delete manage pages; the last layout cannot be deleted.
  3. Use the layout's context menu to choose orientation.
  4. Add elements from the Layout toolbar:
Action Content
Add 2D View A 2D scene view
Add Legend A fixture legend
Add Event Table Event information
Add Text Notes and headings
Add Image Images such as logos

Edit each element's available settings to choose content and presentation. Check scene data in the views and tables before producing documentation.

Arrange and edit

Drag a frame to move it and a frame handle to resize it. Double-click a frame to edit the element. Right-click for editing, deletion and stacking controls. Drag empty space to pan and use the wheel to zoom. Z fits the layout; Delete removes the selected layout element.

Save the .pstg project to keep your layouts. Export template creates a portable .pslayout package including referenced images. Import template accepts .pslayout and legacy .json templates.

Export PDF

Select a non-empty layout and choose File → Print Layout.... Choose a writable .pdf destination. The PDF uses the selected layout's page size and orientation and includes its supported elements. Review the exported file before printing or sharing.
