Combination of landscape and portrait

[MatthiasVDE]

I remember that there is a workaround to combine portrait and landscape templates, it was something with sections I think.
What was the correct manner to get this done?

[Eve]

Insert a section break at the end or beginning of each template that needs to change page layout.

(You remember correctly, in order to change the page layout in rtf/docx you need a new section)

[Uffe]

Definitely sections, and I seem to recall that the page orientation is inherited backwards -- up the document instead of down -- so if you get weird behaviour the trick might be to add a section break at the end of your differently-oriented template.

However, if it's just for diagrams it's easier (for the toolsmith) and certainly more flexible to just set the orientation in the diagram properties.

How can I do this?

[Uffe]

In 15.0, Diagram properties -- Diagram -- Document Generation Options -- Rotate Images.

As I've noted in another thread, Divide Diagram into Multiple Pages doesn't work, but Rotate Images does.

Thanks Uffe.

I'll also search if there's a way to handle this with a script during the generation of the documentation

[Uffe]

No worries.

If you use a DocumentGenerator script, it will honour the Rotate Images setting.

And here's my post on Divide Diagram, as yet unanswered.

I use the internal script environment to generate my virtual documents. So I need to investigate if I can change the rotation setting that way

I'm currently experimenting with the documentgenerator, but I can't find a setting to rotate the images.

Thw simple way is to set the Rotate on each Diagram Propertys  Then when using your normal report those diagrams are Rotated and if scaling Scale to 1-page .
