Printing problem, landscape and portrait

Printing problem, landscape and portrait

Printing problem, landscape and portrait

(OP)
I have several drawings that have both landscape and portrait pages. Even though I “set each drawing sheet individually” it only prints the last setting. We are running SW04 SP1.0.
Is there a fix?

RE: Printing problem, landscape and portrait

Are you talking about drawings or sheets in a drawing? I dont have any problem with drawing orientation until I try to print a drawing with multiple sheets.

RE: Printing problem, landscape and portrait

Sorry, submitted that too early, I have just realised that the prob has been fixed with SP2.1. I would recommend installing it.

RE: Printing problem, landscape and portrait

(OP)
The are 2 drawing pages in the drawing file, one portrait and one landscape.
SP2.1 did not fix the problem, so I called the VAR and they duplicated the problem.
So until further notice, this is still a bug.

RE: Printing problem, landscape and portrait

Until this is manually one at a time? - it may depend on the print driver you are using.

RE: Printing problem, landscape and portrait

(OP)
In earlier versions the setting was done manually one page at a time. The error shows up at print preview, so it seems this is a SolidWorks problem, or Windows. I’m not sure how print drivers would cause this.

RE: Printing problem, landscape and portrait

This must be a bug with whatever system you and the VAR are using because it is working fine here. I am using Windows 2000, printing to a HP LJ4100N and all multiple sheet drawings print in correct orientation.

RE: Printing problem, landscape and portrait

I am not sure if this will work on your system or not Ed (it does here). Try doing a 'save as pdf' of your drawing, and then printing the resulting pdf file.
