cmap tools restricted size

Post by CelticPassage »

It seems to me there is no way of making Cmaptools for windows have a canvas size larger than letter size (8.5 x 11).
There aren't many useful maps that can fit into that space.

Is there any way to make the canvas size bigger?

(By canvas size I mean the size of the space where you construct your concept map)

Just drag a concept to the border on the right or bottom of the Cmap and keep going in the drag... the canvas will grow. There is no limit.

Thank you very much for your reply. That's great news!
Just as a follow up: So if I wanted a map which is balanced on both sides then I would need to select the entire map and drag it to the right so I can add more concepts to the left (since it seems that I can't just extend the map to the left)?

And the same would apply for top and bottom balance?
