How do I create page breaks on the front panel?

I want to print out my front panel as multiple pages, and I want to specify which objects to print out on a page. Is there a way to do this? Right now, some of my plots are getting cut off when I print them out.

There isn't really an out-of the box solution to this problem, that I know of. Good luck.

As Jim mentioned, I do not believ there is an out of the box solution.

Often when I want to precisely control what aspects of a UI get printed, I will resort to using a sub VI that is designed specifically for that task. It generally will contain the object of interest along with some header and date information etc. These will often conatin a duplcate of the object I want to print. Te object will have to be formated exactly the same as the original. This can become cumbersome if you have alot of atributes (properties) to set.

Another aproach will use an "invoke node" to get the objects image. The results can be displayed in a picture control on the FP the sub-VI's (which is set to print FP oncompletion).

I hope this helps,
