Page Setup |
Before adding map views and annotation to a layout, you should first specify the size, orientation, and margins of the paper on which you wish to create your layout and on which you wish to print, and the printer that you wish to use.
For your information, the current paper size is listed in the status bar of the layout editor. The orientation of the paper is reflected by shape of the 'paper' in the layout editor itself.
Note:
If you change the printer, paper size, or orientation of the paper etc. after adding map views and annotation to the layout, you may need to rearrange and resize the map view(s) and the annotation elements that were previously inserted in the layout.
