Icovia allows you to create professional quality printouts of your designs complete with color and detailed lists of the products and symbols that appear in your plans. It’s a great way to share your designs with others. Bring copies of your printed plans with you when you’re shopping in retail stores – it will help you and the store sales and design staff select furniture that fits your home.

You can print your plan using the Print button in the Plan Control bar or by selecting Print in the File menu. Printing Icovia plans is the same as printing any other document. Any printer that is accessible to your computer can be used.
