Options/Controls

Type documents

• Logical Documents - select to print logical documents.

Drawings

Use the controls in this region of the dialog to determine whether the following objects are included in the printed outputs or not:

• No-ERC Markers with Symbols - disable this option to exclude all No ERC markers from generated prints. Enable this option to include No ERC markers. With this main option enabled, use the sub-options to fine tune the types of No ERC markers to be included, in relation to their displayed symbol types: Thin Cross, Thick Cross, Small Cross, Checkbox, and Triangle.
• Notes - disable this option to exclude all note objects from generated prints. Enable this option to include note objects. With this main option enabled, use the Include collapsed notes sub-option to control whether all notes are drawn (option enabled), or just those notes that are fully expanded (option disabled).

Area To Print

Use the controls in this region of the dialog to determine the area of the sheet to be printed. Choose from:

• Entire Sheet - print the whole schematic sheet.
• Specific Area - only print the defined area. With this option enabled, the following controls become available:
  • Lower Left Corner X/Y - use these fields to define the X and Y coordinates for the bottom-left corner of the required print area.
  • Upper Right Corner X/Y - use these fields to define the X and Y coordinates for the top-right corner of the required print area.
  • Define - click this button to define the required print area directly in the workspace. You will be taken into the workspace, from where you can click to define the two diagonally-opposite corners of the area. The coordinates of your chosen locations will be filled into the respective fields in the Schematic Print Properties dialog.
