Printing/plotting NX5
Printing/plotting NX5
(OP)
Hi,
We are just learning NX5 after using I-DEAS for many years. The modeling part is going OK, but plotting is confusing. The help file for Plotting refers to the "NX Print dialog -→ Printer tab" but doesn't tell you where to find it in the menus. How do I get there?

RE: Printing/plotting NX5
File -> Print is only available on Windows platforms, I THINK, and it's only a screen dump of the display, not a true plot to scale as above.
If you cannot see these two items in the File pulldown menu, then you need to change your Role to Advanced with Full Menus and make sure to save the layout at exit, which is an ON/OFF setting found under Preferences -> User Interface -> Layout tab.
