Printing Lucid diagrams on Architectural or ANSI paper size

Hello,

I want to print on ANSI or Architectural size paper (Pre-defined C or D size). When I go to print, the paper size options do not include what I am looking for, and if I use a custom size, it prompts for paper size in pixels, not inches or other units.

 

Any ideas?

Hi ​@HovikM, thank you for posting in the community! Printing and selecting custom size shouldn’t limit you to pixels - is it possible you have your default document unit set to pixels? You can check this by navigating the Document Settings tab of your account settings and checking the Lucidchart preferences. 

Changing the page units to inches/centimeters should allow you to set a custom page for printing using those units as well. Would you mind giving this a try and let me know if you see any improvements?

Thanks in advance for your help! Please let me know if you have any questions.

@aparrish thank you for your response. I had previously looked at the very same post but did not find the answer to my issue. Legal paper size is part of the dropdown list of paper size; however, my question is, I do not have a choice of architectural paper sizes such as C or D size formats. I have a large-format printer that I would like to use to print charts or PDF them, for that matter.
