PLOTTING A WINDOW

PLOTTING A WINDOW

PLOTTING A WINDOW

(OP)
I know ploting a window in a model works fine wysiwyg, but how do you plot a window in a drawing????

RE: PLOTTING A WINDOW

File, Print. Click on the "Selection" radio button in the Print range section at the lower LH corner of the Print dialog. You will see a gray box at the lower LH of the drawing. You can drag the selection box to suit. There will also be a dialog allowing you to change the size of this selection box. The contents of the box will print.

Sorry I have no selection radio button or a print range area in my pop up for the printer!  Using a HP laser printer capable of 11x17 prints.

RE: PLOTTING A WINDOW

If you don't see this then you have a problem with your SW and you should call your VAR. This has been here since SW came out or as long as I can remember. It doesn't matter what printer you are using. These menu's come standard in SW.

When you click File\Print - what do you see? You should see a menu that contains this -See Below



The "selection" is circled. Once you highlight that you click OK and then you will get the window.
