You can add headers or footers to your card layout that will appear at the top and bottom
of the printed card or sheet. The objects you add to these areas will be saved in the card
layout file (DGN).
IMPORTANT: The heights of the Header and Footer are added to the height of the card
layout--they do not overlap the card layout. When setting up the Size Height of the
header and/or footer, you must subtract those amounts from the height of the Front of the
layout, otherwise your header will push the card layout (front/back) down the full height
of the header, and the layout will in turn push down the footer. As well, if your printer
requires margins (that is, does not print edge to edge) you will need to take those into
account when you calculate your heights.
1. With a card layout open, on the File menu, click Layout Properties, and then select
the Page Header (or Page Footer) tab. The options appear.
2. Select a page size (preferably the size of your layout Front/Back).
3. Modify the Header/Footer Size Height (and Front/Back height) as described in the
note above.
4. Add a background image or color. If you want this background to print at print time,
select the Print background option should you so desire.
5. Click OK.
6. To add objects to the header or footer, on the View menu, click Show, and then
select Layout Header (or Layout Footer). A blank layout appears on the work-
space.
7. Add objects such as text in the manner described in “Drawing Objects.”
Double-Sided Printing
There are two-settings available for double-sided printing:
l
Printing on both sides of a card from a single card from the Print command
or
l
Printing both sides of the card layout to a larger printer media from your application
to a document printer (to print on a sheet or create a report, for example).
The first requires you to choose the appropriate Print Side setting on the Print dialog at
print time, and the second requires you to choose a Page Setup option that will be saved
in the DGN file and used when printing from your application.
