Zoom and small papers

The designer canvas zooms from 25% to 400%. At 100% the canvas matches the printed size.

Pick a levelClick the % label for a menu: Fit width, then 50% to 400%

The buttons and keys step through 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200, 300 and 400%.

Small papers open fitted​

Papers narrower than A5, such as receipts, labels and cards, would be tiny at 100%. They open fitted to the pane (between 100% and 300%). A4 and larger open at 100%.

The fit runs again when you open a different document, and when you change the paper yourself. It does not run when you resize the window. If a teammate or an undo changes the paper, it only re-fits while you haven't zoomed by hand.

A new draft keeps its zoom when you first save it.

Zoom is yours alone​

Zoom is per viewer. It is never stored in the template, so it doesn't affect the PDF or what your teammates see.
