I'm working with a schematic that I imported from Eagle. After importing I wanted to print the schematic. When I select the print command I get this warning.
I go and select View\Display Sheet but I'm not getting any feedback from the UI on how to move the schematic. I don't know what it mean about "move the schematic". The schematic design is visible and origin is at 0,0.
If I go ahead and print, only the lower left corner of the design is printed.

Re: Problem printing schematic
You can open print preview (File -> Preview), click on "Move Schematic" icon and drag schematic into sheet area. If necessary, you can customize print scale to fit whole schematic sheet on paper sheet. When done, click print all or print current sheet button.

Re: Problem printing schematic
Thank you. With your help I was able to get the schematic to print correctly.
Re: Problem printing schematic
Works great, but how do I get the sheet centering to stick when I close printing? Or change the schematic (after exiting printing) to a different place on the sheet? If I select all and right click, the sheet moves along with everything else.
Re: Problem printing schematic
The settings in print preview are not memorized. I mean print scale, position of a schematic on the sheet. But you can move the schematic on the main design area then its position will be memorized and applied by default when you open the print preview.
Re: Problem printing schematic
As I mentioned above, when I drag the schematic, the print area moves with it. So that doesn't seem to work. If it doesn't memorize the scale, can I put in a feature request? This makes extra work every time somebody wants to print.
