Creating a poster of your model diagram or view enables you to display your diagram or view at large size and keep high quality images. You can create a poster of an entire diagram or view, but also of a selection of elements in the diagram or view. Posters can be created in PDF and SVG.
Please note that in the on-premise solution of release 10 August 2022 and newer the PDF option is not available by default. For more information and solutions, please refer to Enabling the creation of PDF posters in your local Enterprise Studio.
Example of a poster in PDF format
Please note: When using the PDF option to create a poster, any background images in the diagram or view will not be included. You are advised to use the SVG option if you use background images (and possibly convert it to PDF), or use the print model function and select a PDF printer.
Steps:
- Open the diagram or view you want to create a poster of and make sure it is the active (visible) diagram/view.
- Optional: If you want to create a poster of only a selection of elements, select these elements in the diagram or view.
- Choose one of the following:
In the ribbon, on the Report tab, click Poster.
On the File tab, click Print > Poster. - In the Create Poster window, specify the poster settings:
- In Output format, select the desired output format of the poster: PDF or SVG (vector image). If the PDF option says "PDF (not installed)", please refer to Enabling the creation of PDF posters in your local Enterprise Studio.
- Optional: By default, the entire diagram or view is included in the poster (Diagram). If you only want to include the elements you have selected at step 2, click Selection.
- Optional: In Margins in mm, set the page margins for the poster. Default setting for the margins is 10 millimeter.
- In Output format, select the desired output format of the poster: PDF or SVG (vector image). If the PDF option says "PDF (not installed)", please refer to Enabling the creation of PDF posters in your local Enterprise Studio.
- In Location, specify the location where the poster must be saved. If you do not change it, the poster is saved in your Temp folder.
- In File name, type a name for the poster. By default, the poster has the name of the diagram or view.
- Optional: If you do not want the poster to be opened directly after creating, clear the Open file check box.
- Click OK to create the poster.
