Hi Bruce I used "page-grid on" in the layout for map export to check what I'll get with atlas output. As I switched it off again I got what I expected to get. The map is in full size without that space around. On the atlas output I could arrange the map with "origin" as I would like to have it. Btw the same for the map output with "page grid on". Thanks for your help. Torsten Bruce <bruce@tomo.co.nz> hat am 28. April 2012 um 22:02 geschrieben:

I want the map to be more lower left in the same scale. Is this possible in any way?
Try
origin x y z metres
This gives you control of the atlas page-grid tessellation position, which is what I believe you have overlaid on your map. The numbers top and side of the page are the atlas page labels that would be produced if you used 'export atlas' in place of 'export map'. X and y give you control of the first atlas page position in plan view. Assign or adjust these numbers to 'move' your cave on the paper.
grid bottom grid-coords all
will label all the grid line intersections so that you can see where your cave and tessellation are positioned with respect to the coordinate system.
page-grid and grid are not the same thing. Page-grid shows the atlas pages positions relative to the cave. Grid shows the coordinate system position relative to the cave.
You can control the page-grid label numbering using
origin-label <x-label> <y-label>
This sets the label for the first atlas page (the position of which is defined by the 'origin' statement).
Unless you have some special reason for producing maps with the atlas page-grid overlaid (like planning for future atlas production, or producing a map with grid squares labelled A1, A2, B1 etc like a road map for a city), then I would tend to use 'overlap' and the 'map-header' statements to position the cave on the page, and 'grid bottom' to place coordinate system gridlines on the page. It is simpler.
