Relationship Feature

The extended relationship feature is great… but it would be immensely better if it could be shown on a flow chart for printing on an A4 page !

@Bruce Uebergang Thanks for your comment - my American curiosity got the best of me, so for the rest of us Yanks I quote from AI: "A4 is the international standard paper size (ISO 216), commonly used globally for documents, measuring 210 x 297 millimeters (8.27 x 11.69 inches), and is slightly taller and narrower than the U.S. Letter size (8.5 x 11 inches), making it perfect for reports, letters, and printing worldwide."

Reminds me of my first US trip in 1984 when I spent ages trying to work out why the bottom of my A4 document was getting cut off when I printed it on our California office's printer ….

Reminds me of the time my boss - bright man, but not well-versed in ways outside the USA - claimed our new business partner was playing tricks by printing the draft of the contract on special-sized paper. Yes, it was A4. And, yes, I carefully explained it was standard in many other countries and that we were the odd ones out.

For those who aren't aware, the great advantage of the standard paper sizes is the ability to reduce or enlarge a document easily. If you half a sheet of A0 you get A1, half that and you get A2, half that is A3, half again and you have the common A4, half again is A5, etc., etc. BUT every one of these is EXACTLY the same shape! The ratio of width to height does not change. A document designed for any one of these sizes can be enlarged or reduced and ALWAYS fits any of the other sizes.

This discussion of paper sizes, although fascinating, has nothing at all to do with the original post. @Bruce Uebergang was only asking for a way to print the relationship graph on a typical piece of paper. It's irrelevant whether that is Letter size or A4.
