I am new to global mapper and still learning, but I have a couple of quick questions!
1. When I try to print a map, the polygons on the printed map fill up only half the page, where as the polygon on my computer screen fills the screen up. How do I get the printout to match the screen? I am not worried about scale.
2. When I try to export a pdf it hangs up at 60% and will not finish the export! What am I doing wrong?
I am using v15.1
Thanks

Can you get the latest version (v15.2.3) from Global Mapper Downloads and see if you still have the same issues? Also if you print to a file rather than directly to the printer do you have the same issue with the polygon being chopped off?

Downloading update now. Just to clarify my issue a little - When I zoom into the Tract/polygon that I want to make the map of if fills the computer screen, but when I print the map, the polygon is complete but just very small in the middle of the piece of paper (8.5X11)

Are you checking the box to export to a particular scale? Also what orientation of paper are you printing to? If your screen is more of a Landscape orientation and you are printing as Portrait the screen bounds will likely have a lot of blank space underneath as the entire screen bounds was fit to the Portrait aspect. If you print as Landscape aspect that will more commonly match the aspect of the display.
Thanks,
