LucidChart print settings


Hi


I have a Chart that contains Action Buttons (used to show or hide layers). Is there a way for me to select which layer I want to print (not all) as well as exclude the Action Buttons from printing?


Thank you

Hi Marisa thanks for your post. While it's not possible to choose only one single layer you can choose to print each individual layer on a separate page then isolate the layer in particular that you want. In the example below I have these sticky notes on corresponding layers:



Then when I print my document I can choose to toggle Show Individual Layers which will cause each layer to appear on a separate page. 



While this won't eliminate the associated action buttons I would recommend temporarily removing them in order to print as a workaround. I hope this helps!


 


Thank you Micah
Is there a way to set the print area?


Hi Marisa yes! To do this I would recommend first exporting your document as a PDF (File ExportPDF). From there in the Options panel on the right you can choose from the options under the Content section. 



Crop to Content will automatically adjust the PDF's area to the objects on your page 



and Custom Crop will allow you to precisely set the PDF's area manually. 



From there you can print your downloaded PDF! I hope this helps - let me know if you have additional questions. 


Thank you Michah! This worked:) and then in Adobe I was able to print just the specific page I needed to pdf. Hopefully in the future we can select which pages to print from Lucid maybe too.


Appreciate your help with this!!!


Thanks


Hi Marisa thanks for letting me know this worked! And I definitely understand that having that option directly within Lucid would be efficient and helpful - thanks for your feedback.
