How to print tiles and set up a workflow?

In this article, we will quickly describe the print of Tiling+ tiles and the use of the module in Workflow mode.

Tile printing

To print the tiles you can:

  • Select the tiles one by one from the ImageBar. Each tile will be treated as a regular image file.
  • Select the poster thumbnail and drop it in the Print module. In this case, you will see under the image name, the label Poster, and the number of tiles it contains.
    The "Print" button is also changed to "Print Tiles" to remind you that all tiles will be printed if you click on it:

    "Poster" and number of tiles indications

You can also print a specific tile, instead of printing them all at once.

To do so, open the Printer Settings ( ), and choose a tile thanks to the arrows at the bottom. Then print the tile by clicking on the "Print Tile" button:

 

Tiling+ WorkFlow mode

You can integrate Tiling+ into the Workflow module. Just drag and drop the tiling project from the Application Bar to the Workflow:

You can then set up the module by double-clicking on its icon.

The configuration window is the same but you will not see an image in it. However, you can set the poster size depending on the image size as well by using the scale tool as explained in the global setup article.

Among the little changes, two are linked to the poster finalization regarding the Assembly Guide and the Poster Creation.

 

Saving the parameters

Once you have set all parameters, saved the changes, and programmed the poster creation, simply click on the Quit button.

The following pop-up will open (it is particular to the workflow mode):

Choose to create all tiles or only the selected ones then Validate the workflow settings. You can also simply discard the configuration and quit the window.

Once the module is set, the gear wheel icons ( ) activate themself and start to turn.

 

Assembly guide

To specify the creation of an assembly guide, click on the Assembly Guide… button in the Tiling+ module, then make sure that the Generate Assembly Guide option is activated.

You can then continue to set up Tiling+ in your Workflow:
