Resize Page Step 6:
When you run out of space on
the drawing page, DO NOT
resize eVSM shapes.
1
Instead make the drawing
page bigger. Do not use the
Page Setup menu to resize
the page.
Hold the Ctrl key down on the
keyboard and grab/move any
edge of the page to resize it.
2 3
Do not worry about how big
the page gets and do not
worry about printing.
