Drawing over several pages

is there a way to have a block diagram go over several pages? to have tabs/tags which link to another page, and continue there?

I have some block diagram from very large systems, and rather than having a huge single sheet I would like to break it up into several pages.

But at the end I would like the cable numbering and the rack layouts to be all one system.

Hi Hanspeter,

Different files in Stardraw cannot be linked so the functionality you describe is not available.  However, there may be a different solution to the problem you are trying to solve.  For example, if you want to tile your design across multiple printed pages you can use File | Page Setup to set a print scale.  If at the selected scale the drawing is bigger than a single page, Stardraw will tile the drawing across a number of pages automatically.

If you want to print only a section of your drawing, you can use File | Print Area | Set to draw a print selection: in this case, only the items within the Print Area will be printed.
