Final design for large format plans

Post by Peter2 »

Usually, ...
..a large format drawing (plan, map) from engineering has
  • an outer rectangle line to cut the paper from oversize plot to exact norm size
  • an inner rectangle line (approx. distance 5 mm) to make the "paper looks nice" (like a frame, like a paasepartout)
  • small folding marks to fold the huge paper to standard size (eg. to fold it from DIN A0 to DIN A4)
  • .. this already done by CAD etc.

Sometimes, ..
.. it has nothing and is only a large format size PDF :cry:

Of course it could be done with Editor to draw lines and calculate and draw and ...

Short question:
Are there better ideas / scripts / tools / functions to make this easyly, quick and correct with Editor?

Hello, Peter2

I sorry to say that no, at the moment we do not have any features to add such pagemarks to documents. It may be something that could be accomplished with some custom JavaScript, to place a few comment items around the borders, but I am afraid I do not have any samples handle for that.

If you know some Javascript and wish to pursue that possibility, you can find a copy of the JS API refence manual here:
