This will update the scale to the number entered. This is useful when printing the map. If you enter 63360, 1 mile on the map should equal one inch on paper when the map is printed.

Example: You may want 1 inch to equal 4 miles. To calculate, multiply the ratios(fractions) to cancel the units. This gives the
1 inch / 4 miles * 1 foot / 12 inches * 1 mile / 5280 feet = 1/253440.
All units cancel giving a scale of 1 : 253440. When the map is printed from the pdf that is created, there should be 4 miles in every inch.

This tool will open a seperate window that you can move the elements that you selected and print them.

Once open there will be configuration options on the left and a preview on the right. There are 4 main elements that you can print. A map, a title, a legend and extra text.

All elements can be positioned by dragging them with the mouse. The black border indicates the margins of your page and you should try to keep your elements within the border. As you change the page size and page layout, the black border will display the new printable area.

You may set the font, font size, border, transparency, and size for the text areas. If you leave the size blank, the text area will automatically size based on the text.

The legend will show all layers that you have selected in your map. If you do not want all the legent items, you may delete elements of the legend by clicking on them.

Auto position will position elements based on the size and layout you select.
