Printing issue survey
Printing issue survey
(OP)
Looking for feedback on what others are doing. We have 60 people that can print to multiple prints/plotters. The issue is one day a person will print a drawing on 11x17 and is happy. The next day they try to print 11x17 and get it on 8.5x11. I'm sure some settings were changed or they changed printers but it always seems cumbersome to get exactly what you want.
When we used ACAD we had a pulldown that you could select Plot A, B, C, or D and it would automatically set the setting to what were needed.
Are you having to go to something like this for SW or what's everyone doing.
We're running SW 06 SP2.0

I have trained myself to use print preview then print if it looks right.

As far as setting templates for the different sizes, it doesn't help if you have mixed sheets in a drawing packet. We use 8 1/2 x 11 and 11 x 17 sheets, and the easiest way to print a drawing packet with mixed sheets is to save it as a PDF and print it.
The other way is to print sheets 1 to 20 as B size sheets (for example), then change page setup to A size sheets and print the rest.
