Editing Mind Map Design Properties

Scale

 

Scaling allows you to scale the Mind Map so it fits on the number of pages you want it to. This option is available on the View tab, and is only enabled when you have the Pages option turned on.

 

This is useful when setting up for printing, so you can have full control over pagination of the Mind Map. The Fit to Page option in the pop down menu will fit the Mind Map to a single page.

 

note

Note that the page frames as shown are determined by the page size and orientation selected in the page setup, and the margins you set in the printing setup panel, so if you intend to use margins other than standard, and need exact positioning of the Mind Map on the page, you should go into the page setup and select your paper size and orientation, then go into print setup and set the margins, and then position and scale your Mind Map exactly as you want it.

You can show or hide the different attributes of the Mind Map as follows:

Zoom

 

The Zoom command allows you to select the zoom level for your Mind Map. The Fit To Window command fits your Mind Map so it is all visible in your editing window. Zooming has no impact on what size the Mind Map will print out - that is dependent on the scale.
