Trimble Tilos Help
Gantt charts can be printed with a border containing additional data about the project and the company around the chart. You can split the chart into different pages, each having its own border. For more information, see "Setting Print Properties" on page 1141
For printing, the Gantt chart or parts of a Gantt chart are inserted in a view generated in the view section of Tilos. This is a simple view containing only one cell, which should be empty. The flag Print form for Gantt Charts should be set in the tab View of the view.
In the menu, select Tools > Options > Functions > Classic printing (only accessible with classic printing; no longer existing in the new presentation mode). Select the Print icon on a Gantt chart. Then click Advanced Settings.
With an integrated, time-distance, or list view in the active window, select File > Print in the main menu.
Right-click in a view and select Print from the context menu.

Fit chart to print form - In this mode, the selected scale of the chart is changed and the border size is kept. The width for the Width of Gantt area = Width of inner cell - Width of text panel.
