Prepare Gantt Charts for Printing
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 Set Print Properties.
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.
Ways to access
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.

Main axis scaling
Fit print form to chart - In this mode, the selected scale of the chart is kept and the border is sized. The width of the inner cell containing the Gant chart = Width of text panel + Width of Gantt area.
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. This value is used to recalculate the scale that the whole Gantt range from the view fits into the border.
Bar lines mode
All rows on one page - In this mode, the row height of a Gantt row is changed so that all rows fit to 1 page of the printout.
Multiple pages calculated by row height - In this mode, the row height is kept and the program creates on-demand multiple views in order to print all rows of the Gantt chart.
