Print Picture

This dialog box appears if you issue the Print command while the 3D Window is active, using the OpenGL Engine.

This printing function treats the entire contents of the 3D window as a single image. Consequently, the only available controls are:

Printer: This field displays the printer driver currently set up for your machine. To change the assigned printer, choose the Page Setup button at right.

Page Setup: Click this button to open the Page Setup dialog box, where you can choose a printer and set paper size and orientation.

Print Range: Choose either All to print all pages, or choose a page range for multi-page output.

Copies: Enter the number of copies of the image to print.

Print to File: Check this box to save the output as a print file on your computer.

Collate Copies: Check this box if you are printing multiple copies, and would like each copy to be output in sequential order.

Dithering: Check this box to reduce the total number of colors present in the output while retaining visual fidelity. Dithering may be necessary due to a limited number of colors available on the display device. For example, if your fills turn out solid black, the Dithering effect may help.

Use Printer Resolution: Check this box to use the print resolution set up in the printer device.

Print Quality: Enter a dpi (dots per square inch) setting to define print quality.
