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!
