Printing in Solid Works

Printing in Solid Works

Printing in Solid Works

(OP)
I have just bought solid works, I have just come from Autodesks crap mechanical desktop.

Everything works fine and I'm getting into it but I am really struggling to print drawings.

I change the settings to the settings I want but nothing changes.  For instance I can set the print to print landscape and then when I preview it previews portrait.

Can anyone please help me with this I'm really pulling my hair out with this one.

Thanks

Richard

Hi Ricky55,
welcome to the forum!
Did you try file/page setup, and choose landscape. I tryed just now, and it worked as it supposed.
Regards!

RE: Printing in Solid Works

If that doesn't work try repairing your SW - See the FAQ section on installs to explain how to do a Repair.

RE: Printing in Solid Works

After you change "page setup", see if you have "print preferences". Change that also to landscape.
