    Just go to Print Preview, Select ur drawing and Drag it to anywhere u want in the page. There are lots of presets like: Top Centre, Bottom Centre and etc available in the print preview

    • Many printers do not alow that function, this i not a Corel issue.

      • If you want to add a page frame (a rectangle around the page border) just double click over the Rectangle icon.

        If you want to print without margins, it's a printer feature as David said, not about CorelDRAW. On the Print Preview you can set your margins to zero, but only a few printers allows to print without white border

        • Ariel. Can you explain further. What rectangle icon? Thanks

          • I talking about the Rectangle tool icon, in the Toolbar. If you "double click" over the rectangle tool, you will have a rectangle around the border of the page, by adding a page frame automatically.

            Since the question is:

            that question can mean "you want to print until to the edge of the sheet, with no margin", or means "you want to print the edge, a line indicating the limit" (useful if you print a small page in a larger size sheet of paper)

          • I think he's referring to the "Printable Area" settings of the document being created.

            If the printer does not support print to limits of the page edges, another alternative would be to use the print option "tiled pages" (in case printing  more than one sheet is not an inconvenience).

            • Perhaps you can clarify: are you trying to print, or are you trying to produce a print file for somebody else to print?

              Commercially, edge to edge printing is not done by printing to the edge of the page. It is done by printing on an oversized page (eg SRA3 instead of A3) and then trimming it down to A3 size.

              Only a small number of printers can print completely to the edge of a page. You may find that feature on a photo printer, for example. But it is difficult to do, and the manual will usually warn you that print quality or registration will be degraded near the edge of the page. Most laser printers will have an unprintable margin of about 5mm around each edge. Most inkjets will have a marging of 10 to 20mm on at least one edge.

              If you have a printer that can print to the edge of the page, and if your design page is the same size as the print page, then you should be able to print that page to its full extent. But watch out for features in the print driver that may be on by default and may reduce the page to fit is "best quality" printing area, either by scaling down or by cropping.
