Print by selection ??

(OP)
Is there a way to print only selected items in a drawing file? We often have many small details on a single D-Size drawing but only want to print a single detail or whatever is within a selection window to 8-1/2 x 11.

Thanks

Never mind, I found it in the help file. I didn't realize this was a function of the printer driver. I was looking for something that utilized SW selections prior to executing the print command

Sure.  In the "Print..." dialog box, just set your paper size to letter, choose landscape/portrait, set your scale, and choose the "Selection" radio button in the "Print Range" group.  You'll get a gray frame that you can move around to the area you want to print.  However, you do have to be zoomed out so that the entire sheet is displayed prior to choosing "File->Print".
