Overview 

The Print tool allows you to create map outputs directly from AssetWhere. You can customize the map extent, layout, scale, legend, logo, and export format before downloading your map.  

Instructions to How to Print Your Map

Step 1: Select your area 

• Navigate to the area you would like to include in your exported map, or;
• For quick access, using the Navigation tool, select the site, building, or room you want to print. You can use the magnifying glass to zoom into your area of interest. This will centre the selected area on the screen for the best print result.
  

Step 2: Turn on/off applicable layers

• Before entering the print function, use the Layer Manager to turn on/off any applicable layers.
  Tip: We highly recommend turning off the Open Street Map layer under images.
  

Step 3: Open Print Settings

• Close the Layer Manager and click the Print button in the top menu.
  
  
  
• The selected area should now appear centred within the red bounding box, ready for printing.
  Note: The red box indicates the map extent that will be included in the printout.

Step 4: Adjust the Scale

• To zoom in or out, use the Scale tool

• The current scale is displayed in the bottom right corner.

• To zoom out, increase the scale value (e.g., by 25 or 50).

• To zoom in, decrease the scale value or select from the preset scale options.

Tip: Adjusting the scale can help create a buffer around your building or area.

Step 5: Rotate the View (Optional)

• If needed, use the Rotation slider to align the layout.
  You can drag the slider or double-click the value to enter a specific angle.
