We are looking for current D-Tools users who are willing to be D-Tools software advocates for potential new users who may have questions about how your company excels with the software. Your direct experience with the software can be a valuable resource for new or soon-to-be users!

We often get asked the question "how do I print my Visio drawings?". Many users do not have plotters in their offices and often they don't even have a printer capable of printing 11" x 17" paper (which realistically is about as small as you will want to go for most drawings).
