How to produce A0/A1 drawings in PIPENET

Due to the size of networks, PIPENET users often need to print the schematic on paper larger than A4.  A0/A1 are quite common paper sizes used by engineers to print their drawings.

There are two ways you can produce A0/A1 drawings.

  1. Use a printer.  This uses raster technology.  The drawing is produced in the form of bits.
  2. Use a plotter.  This uses vector technology.  The drawing is produced by a pen.

Method 1:  Using a printer.

You can print directly from PIPENET.  Be sure to look at print preview and check the number of pages before you print.  The steps are as shown below.

Method 2:  Using a plotter

This method will produce a plotter file.  You can use this file to generate the drawing from the plotter.  The steps are as shown below.
