Q: What's the deal with the huge pages?

A: I use Page setup to control canvas size. The 22"x34" template was scaled to fit comfortably when printed in 11"x17". I scale up so that I can work in 1:1 ratio for presenting on screen in PDF.

There are options in the Canvas inspector that allow you to print one canvas per sheet rather than scaling to fit across sheets if your page setup is smaller than your canvas.

Q: How do I print these large documents?

A: When printing, do this in your print dialog:

1) select the Paper Handling options from the drop down menu
2) check "Scale to fit paper size"
3) check "Scale down only"

Illustration:

Your document should now print at the right scale for whatever paper size you use. Keep in mind that that template is made ideally for projecting on screen and for printing on 11x17 paper.

Q: I can't open this file in OmniGraffle 4.x!

A: This file was saved in OmniGraffle 5, but you should be able to open in OG 4 by renaming the extension from .gtemplate to .graffle.

Q: What are the numbers above the wireframes about?

A: The numbers above the wireframes are column numbers for a 24 pixel grid. If you turn guides on, you'll see guide lines for each of the columns. If you want to hide them from your exported document, just hide the column number shared layer.

Q: How do you use these?

A: I post some example OmniGraffle documents to articles I write in the Notebook section of Konigi. View the articles tagged sample deliverables to find these.
