Show Business Info on Print

The title block in the bottom-right corner of every printed sheet is split into three panels: identity (who's behind the drawing), project info, and metadata (date, sheet number, scale). The identity panel is the one you can toggle off — useful when you want a bare title block on a sheet you're sharing outside the business or with a third party who doesn't need your contact details.

This article walks the toggle, what it controls, and how it interacts with the underlying profile data.

Find the toggle

Open the Print dialog (toolbar Print button or Ctrl + P on desktop). Scroll down past Paper, Scale, Print Area, and (if shown) the Watermark row. The next Switch you see is:

• Show business info on print — in Contractor mode
• Show my info on print — in Customer mode

Same Switch, mode-aware label. The toggle starts in the ON position every time you open the Print dialog — it doesn't persist between dialog opens. If you want a bare-title-block print, you flip it off each time.

Below it is a second line of helper text:

• Contractor mode: "Business name, contact, license in the title block"
• Customer mode: "Your name + contact in the title block"

What's in the identity panel

When the toggle is ON, the identity panel of the title block renders the appropriate profile fields for your mode.

Contractor mode

Driven by your Business Profile (Settings → My Business Info) or, when present, the server-side business profile pulled from your account. Fields rendered:

• Company logo (if uploaded).
• Company name (bold).
• License number, prefixed with "License #".
• Phone and email, separated by a middle dot.
• Address (line 1, optional line 2, city, province/state, postal code).

If a field is empty, it renders as nothing — no placeholder like "Your Company". A bare contractor profile prints a bare identity panel.

Customer mode

Driven by your Customer Profile (Settings → My Info). Fields rendered:

• Full name (first + last, bold).
• Phone and email, separated by a middle dot.
• Address.

Same empty-field rule: missing fields render nothing.

What ON vs OFF means for the title block

Switch state	Identity panel	Rest of title block
ON	Renders the appropriate profile fields	Project name, drawing name, date, sheet number, scale, attribution all visible
OFF	Blank panel (nothing in the identity column)	Project name, drawing name, date, sheet number, scale, attribution all still visible

So OFF gives you a "stripped" title block — the document still identifies the project, the drawing, the date, and the sheet number, but it doesn't carry your business contact. The rest of the document is unchanged: schedules still print, layers still print, dimensions still print.

This is the right setting when:

• You're sharing the drawing with someone who already knows who you are and doesn't need a contact panel reminder.
• The print is going to a public-facing channel (a forum, a portfolio site) and you'd rather not have your phone and address embedded in the file.
• You're handing the drawing to a subcontractor and want them to call the project owner, not you.

Server profile vs local profile

VisionPlan has two sources for business/customer info, and the toggle gates both:

1. Server profile — pulled from your account when you're signed in. Lets the contact info travel with your account across devices.
2. Local profile — what you've entered in Settings → My Business Info or Settings → My Info. Lives in browser storage.

The title block prefers the server profile when it's present, and falls back to the local profile when it isn't. The toggle gates both paths — turning it OFF hides the identity panel regardless of where the data came from.

This is a relatively recent fix — earlier builds left the local profile leaking through when the server profile was off. v1 closes both paths on a single toggle.

What the toggle DOESN'T control

A few things that stay on the print regardless of this toggle:

• Project name — set on the project itself, always renders.
• Drawing name — "Floor Plan", "Door Schedule", etc., always renders.
• Date stamp — always renders.
• Sheet number — "Sheet X of Y", always renders.
• Scale label — when a fixed scale is set, always renders.
• "Drafted in VisionPlan" attribution — controlled by its own switch directly below the Show business info Switch. See the section below.

So OFF on the business info Switch gives you a partial strip of the title block — identity removed, everything else preserved.

The attribution Switch (related but separate)

Right under the business info Switch is a second one:

• Drafted in VisionPlan attribution — toggles a small credit line in the corner of the title block.

This is a separate setting from the business info toggle. ON by default. Some users disable it for unmarked output; others leave it on as a tip-of-the-hat. Both Switches are independent — you can mix and match in any combination.

Mode awareness summary

The toggle is the same control in both modes; only the label and the helper text change to match what's in the title block:

Mode	Switch label	What it gates
Contractor	Show business info on print	Business name, logo, license, phone/email, address
Customer	Show my info on print	Full name, phone/email, address

Switching modes doesn't change the toggle's state mid-session — it just relabels the Switch. The toggle resets to ON at the next dialog open in either mode.

Tips

• The toggle is per-dialog-open, not persistent. If you want a long-running "always bare title block" workflow, you need to flip it off on every print. There's no global setting for it in v1.
• If your title block is rendering blank when you expected business info to show, the toggle is the first thing to check (back in the dialog after the previous print). The second is that your profile actually has data — Settings → My Business Info has to be populated for the identity panel to have anything to render.
• The toggle doesn't affect the schedules. Door schedules, fixture schedules, etc., are project content, not contact content. They print the same either way.
• On a Tabloid or A3 sheet the title block is the same physical size as on Letter / A4 — the identity panel is a fixed dimension, not a percentage of the sheet. So the empty space when the toggle is OFF doesn't shrink with the paper.
• The toggle's state at the moment you press Print is what applies — toggling it mid-render does nothing. If you flipped it after pressing Print and the result isn't what you wanted, reopen the dialog and reprint.
