katalyst777 Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Layouts 101 Basics Of the Home Designer programs, only Pro has layouts. Go through the Layout Tutorial in the User's Guide. Watch the Layouts training video. Review the Layout Knowledge Base Articles such as . . .KB-00527: Creating a LayoutKB-01829: Resizing a Layout Title Block and BorderKB-00439: Creating a Cross Section Detail Layouts in Home Designer Pro are limited to a single page, BUT you can create a new layout file for each individual page (OR you can upgrade to the Premier version that has multi-page layouts). The max print size in Pro is Arch C (18" x 24"), BUT you can create a PDF with views at 1/8" scale on 11" x 17" and have a print shop double it to get 1/4" on a larger sheet (OR you can upgrade to the Premier version which doesn't have any print size limits and would let you print directly to Arch D 24" x 36"). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NeatPie Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 I know I've seen it before but now I can't find it on the website again and this thread only shows the print size limit of Pro. Where are all of the different version page size limits listed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
