Thanks for your response. I guess most people are using SVG for web graphics (thus the number of books with the word "web" in their titles). Don't know how you would support industrial cad processes without being able to print out over more than one page.
Oh well. So, if I have this right, I'll need to do my own pagination, breaking the output into multiple SVG files? Not ideal, but guess I can do that.
