The Print dialog
Summary
The Print dialog provides controls to configure the printout of a Draftsman document, including a scalable print preview image with page navigation selectors, as well as standard printing options.
Access
To access the Print (Draftsman) dialog, the UI.Unification.PrintPreviewDialog
option in the Advanced Settings dialog must be disabled. The Advanced Settings dialog
is accessed by clicking the Advanced button on the System – General page of the Preferences dialog. If any changes are made in the Advanced Settings dialog,
the software must be restarted in order for the changes to take effect.
When the UI.Unification.PrintPreviewDialog
option is enabled, the Print dialog is used for defining what is printed and which printing device to use, viewing printouts, and editing their setup definitions
before actually printing.
The dialog can be accessed from a Draftsman document in the following ways:
- From the main menu, select File » Print.
- Use the Ctrl+P hotkeys.
- From the toolbar, click the button.
Options/Controls
The left-hand side of the dialog features a scalable print preview image. Drag the edges of the preview image to make it larger or smaller. If the Draftsman document to be printed contains multiple pages, the arrow buttons below the preview image allow you
to navigate through the various pages and view them in the preview area.
Standard Printing options are available on the right-hand side of the dialog. These include the ability to designate a specific printer, confirm the printer's location, view how many documents are currently in the printing queue, adjust the number of
copies to print, page sizing, and orientation options.
