Print Template

The following tutorial explains how to print a template from Editor. In Embird it is possible to change the position of design being printed - you can move the design across the paper to the right position if you want to save the paper space - e.g. if you want to print two or more designs using the same sheet of vellum.

Note: You can print the documentation for your designs also from Manager, using the commands contained in the "Right Panel > Print" menu. There are several types of documentation available in this menu.

1 - Run Embird and click "Editor" menu to switch to Editor window.

2 - Select the "File > Open" menu to open a file which you want to print out (Picture No. 1).

In this example, the hoop size is 100 x 100 mm, as it can be seen on the caption displayed in the middle of the cyan rectangle. The captions in the corners display the current position of these corners over the printer paper.
