How to Select a Print Area you Draw

Follow these steps to use your cursor to draw a box to select an area to print:

1. Select File | Select Print Area to open the Select Print Area dialog box.

2. Click the Screen Selection tab.
3. Select the Selected print area option.
4. Click <Select Print Area> to go to the current Map View. Your cursor will appear as a cross.
5. Left click on one corner of the area you want to select, and drag the cursor to place a box around your entire print area.

6. Return to the Select Print Area dialog box, and click <Print Preview> to open the GeoVista Print Layout Tool dialog box, where you can see a preview of your area, edit how your page will print, and print your area.

• If the size of your selected print area is smaller or shorter than the selected paper size, GeoVista will add extra area to fill the map area of the page.
