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.
