Export Area

A blue frame will appear on the screen indicating the area that will be saved as an image. By default, the frame is static, but you can move the plan beneath it:

  • move — right-click and drag;
  • zoom — scroll the mouse wheel.

When using the SVG format, the frame is ignored — the entire plan is exported.

Moving the plan under the export frame with the mouse and zooming with the scroll wheel.
