• If, by accident, you have closed down the Print Frame Settings dialog box, simply double-click between the broken blue line and the solid black line of the print frame to make it appear again.
   
• You select a print frame by clicking on the very edge of the frame, between the broken blue line and the solid black line.
   
• There is a blue inner frame inside the black solid one. You can clearly see where the drawing header is. Make sure that the whole drawing is inside the blue frame - items placed outside of it will not appear on the printout.
   
• To be able to select the alternative Selected print frame in the Print dialog box, the frame must be activated.
   
• When you print several print frames, you can print each one at a different scale and on a separate printer.
