Hi Bill

Sounds like you need to print on a larger piece of paper. 1m x 0.6m is quite
modest.  I presume you are not printing your pdf file out at the full size
that Therion generated it at.

I have not had any legend size issues with a 30km cave, although I must
admit that I do with very small caves, where the legend ends up much bigger
than the cave itself!

If you want to fit your cave to paper of a particular size, then change the
scale.  I rarely use anything less than 'scale 1 1000' for a cave longer
than 1km.

To be precise about fitting the cave to a particular paper size, then
'export atlas' will give a better result than 'export map', although of
course atlas do give quite a different end product, and take a bit more care
and attention to set up well.

Subject: [Therion] Increase size of legend

 

Hello everyone -

 

I need to make the legend on a map larger. The cave has grown to nearly 3km
of passage, and even when printed on 60cm x 100cm paper the legend is too
smal to read. Even a magnifying glass does not help!

 . snipped.

Thanks!
