Description:
Currently, you take a bit of a gamble when you export to PDF or PNG in terms of how big the image will be. If you have not laid out your work in the correct way, you can get a resulting image with text size of about 3.

It would therefore be useful to have a "Print Preview" type option or more control over the output image to maybe have one which it will be possible to print over several pages.

How to repeat:
Export a file to PNG or PDF where the original diagram spans several "pages".

Many thanks for writing a feature request. Print Preview is a more advanced feature that we have reserved for Workbench SE.

Thank you for your reply. I am now using the SE version, which has it's own print problems in that I am unable to print anything which is not in a particular area of the page on screen. However, my point was that while I understand the reason and need for different functions across the two editions, there is effectively no way of easily printing multiple pages in the OSS edition. As I no longer use it I cannot remember the exact reason, but it was to do with the size of text on the pdf file when the image "printed" to pdf spanned multiple pages.
