Hi, how do I print to scale on layout which will take up more then one A4 page that I can stick togethere afterwards, I have tried choosing a bigger type paper size but still only prints cut off drawings

And once you have the two pages set up in Layout, you can use that as a template for different leather patterns in the futur…
