Exporting the document

Open Export... to export PDF, PNG, SVG, or HTML. The editable drawing remains in your .wpr file.

Pages and frontmatter

Export all pages or enter a subset such as 1, 3-5. These numbers refer to the project's page list, not its page IDs.

Include frontmatter to export each page's visible information bands. Empty fields stay empty, and hidden bands stay hidden. See Frontmatter and title blocks to set up their content.

A fitted detail

Selection export fits one output page around the selected content. This lets you export a detail anywhere on the canvas without adding a project page. It does not include the project's frontmatter.

Reference grid

The reference grid adds lines and coordinates to pages, such as column B, row 03. Select a page and use its inspector, or open Summary → Pages, to change that page's settings. They are saved with the drawing and do not affect editing or snapping.

Enable Include reference grid for lines and coordinate labels. Columns run A through Z, then AA, AB, and so on; rows start at 01. Labels have their own margin, with the drawing fitted into the remaining space rather than cropped.

Reference-grid size and visibility

Cell size is measured in editing squares: 6 makes each cell six squares wide and tall. A value of 0 chooses a size for each page with at most 26 cells per axis and cells roughly 20 mm or larger on paper. The last cell may be smaller; very small cells shrink the coordinate labels to fit.

Show reference grid in Redline shows enabled grids while editing. This personal preference is available in user settings under Canvas and in each page's inspector. It affects all pages on this computer, is saved with your preferences rather than the drawing, and does not change exported output.

Export problems

If the platform file picker cannot offer the output type you need, choose the built-in picker in preferences. For other errors, see File problems and reporting issues.
