Join Deke McClelland for an in-depth discussion in this video Placement, scale, and tiling, part of Illustrator CC 2013 One-on-One: Intermediate.
In this movie, I'll show you how you can specify which layers print and which don't…as well as how you can position scale and tile your art to fit the page.…And the idea behind tiling is that you can…split a single art board onto multiple pieces of paper.…I'm currently looking at the first two art boards inside my documents.…And I'm going to make a couple of adjustments.…Again, just for the sake of demonstration.…I'll go over to the layers panel and turn off the…back drops layer.…So that those imported images that are created in PhotoShop are hidden from view.…
And then I'll double click on the robot's layer in order to bring…up the Layers Option dialogue box and I'll turn off the print checkbox.…So that the robots automatically become non printing objects.…Now I'll click OK. Right.…Now I'll go up to the file menu and choose the Print command, but…once again you can press Ctrl > P, or Cmd > P on the Mac.…And notice in this little preview here we're…seeing neither the backgrounds, which are hidden, and…we're not seeing the robots either even though…
