Very little preparation is necessary before creating layouts. Most changes can be made any time before the layout file is sent to the printer. There are a few things that are helpful to keep in mind.
You can print to any printer that uses a Windows driver. You can change the current printer at any time in the Page Setup dialog. See "Page Setup Dialog".
If you plan to use a printing service, install sa PDF wrter such as PDF995, which is supplied with Cheif Architect. See "Printing to a PDF File".
Find out what paper size the printer company uses and select it in the Page Setup dialog. See "Page Setup Dialog".
If a large size printer has been chosen for the layout, it is still possible to run a check plot on a smaller printer. This allows you to make final checks before printing to the larger sizes. See "Check Plots".
