SAi FlexiSTARTER 19 Using the Tiling Option (Part 6) Printing to a PDF Mini-Series

The Tiling option is a method that FlexiSTARTER 19 uses to enable users to print images larger than a standard page.

A tiled printing program overlays a grid on the printed image in which each cell (or tile) is the size of a printed page and then prints each tile.

Alright, guys, in today's video flexi starter, we're gonna be looking at the tiling option under the print feature. But before that, let's have a quick intro first. Mhm. So today's video can be found on softwaretraining.co.za Today we make sure an easy to watch problem solving videos, and we also have daily updates. Otherwise we're back in the programme. Yeah, Now I'm just reminded this miniseries. Sorry, and I apologise on working with printing to pdf, and then I will also leave relevant links and description so you guys can actually follow it along. So now, like I mentioned in the intro in today's video, we're gonna be looking at tiling, and this is great if you've got a design that you need to perhaps print bigger than usual. So, um and then you might actually printed it or printed or cut it onto multiple canvases and then I'll just join them. So what I'm gonna do here, I'm gonna select this odd shape they need to the print feature which is on the file print or control p for the shortcut, we can say Yes, we adjust. And as you can see, I've already got the tiling arms. I'll leave it off for now so we can run through it. So now, first of all, if it's not a whole page of printing just a beast and make sure your selection only is on and then you'll see this, it doesn't matter what it's set to. As soon as we said it, you're able to tiling. It will automatically put it to scale for us. So we enable the tiling here and you'll see now the scale is automatically, um, being adjusted now. What you can do is you can play around with the actual scale here and then I'm part fits within your tails. If it is even bigger, it will just automatically add more tiles so they know this is quite a nice match. But obviously you'll play around with your size and that to make sure that's right. Then, under our tiling option, we've got here the overlap. So this basically means how much overlap is going to be between these to say, if you're overlapping your vinyls or so forth, then I want to make sure you enable this so you can obviously set it in quite a small amount. But let's say he said something a bit more extreme just so we can see the difference. You can see there now two inches of dramatically added another, um, tile for us. But let's just zoom this out of it so we can see. And as you can see you now, on this floor preview Oh, I mean, uh, normal image would have, I would say, perhaps stop the year somewhere, So that is quite an overlap Over there. There's a two inch of and then, um yeah, you can obviously, uh, I would say, Don't play with such extremes anywhere from zero to point, something will be great if you're very good with your lining skills, you can always leave it at zero. But then you might get some cut off of your original. So they just got to point something. So you have a safety net. Otherwise, that is it on tiling. If we had to adhere to softwaretraining.co.za got Seattle Today you guys are going to get a variety of different software to cover, and also you can isolate your search on the top, right? If you do not, however, find the video looking for you can always go. Yeah, request the training video. Then we will make that video for you. But otherwise things guys for watching and cheers.
