This is really a two part question.

Part 1 : Is it possible to output a diagram to a file?

Part 2 : Does anyone know of a service that will print the diagram file (assuming that it can be output) onto one (large) sheet?

This had been covered before both here and on the mailing list.

1. Currently you need to use a program like PDF995 to create a PDF file. There is a new article on the front page with regard to this.

2. There are many services which do this dependant on your location. If you create a PDF file many local print shops can print the file for you.

Sorry but I had not found the previous posts.

I have downloaded PDF995, created a .pdf file and taken it along to my local Prontoprint shop who printed it off for me there and then.

The more I use FH and find the features in it the more impressed I get with it each day.

I do, however, seem to have a minor problem with using PDF995 (well not so much using but the after effects).

If I create a single page of output then the Diagram>Options>Print>size is changed to what is required for that print but if I then switch back to a 'normal' printer with an A4 size page these units are not reset and there is no default setting. Have I missed something or is this a bug?

Not really. FH should retain the settings all the time. The easiest way I think will work is to save the 'big' diagram as a custom one and the normal one as a custom one and swap between the two, or simply use the diagram rows per page option to get the page size back.

I will try and have a play when I get the time, but I am fairly busy at work at the moment.
