PRINT prints a view of the current drawing onto your chosen printer or optionally, to file.
Printer
Name: displays the name of printer to which CC3 will plot. To select a different printer, click on the drop list to display a list of printers installed in your Windows system. To install a different printer, see your Windows documentation.
Properties button: choose to access the printer driver settings via the printer’s property sheet. The exact appearance and available options of the printer property sheet will vary for each printer model and its associated driver software.
Preview button: choose to see an accurate representation of your drawing as it will appear on your paper. CC3 interrogates the Windows Printer Driver for information on the capabilities of the printer. All printers (and/or printer drivers) do not have the same ability to reproduce colors, fill patterns, and/or True Type fonts.
Help button: displays this help file topic.
Print to File: Check to send output to a file. CC3 displays the Print to File dialog box requesting a filename and destination.
Copies: Click on and type the number of copies you want to print.
View to print (select one)
Everything: prints the entire drawing. This includes space occupied by entities on hidden layers. (It's the same view you would see if you selected the ZOOM EXTENTS command or 
.) Hidden entities will not show in the printed drawing, but they do affect the print size and placement.
Active Window: prints the current view in the active drawing window.
Named view: prints the view selected from the drop-down list, showing all the views named with the SET VIEW NAME command [View > Set View Name].

The currently selected sheet

COMMON prints on all: Choose if you wish entities on the COMMON sheet to be printed no matter what Sheet option you select.
Scaling (select one)
Fit to page: scales the selected view for a best fit on your paper. Remember to set the proper paper orientation in the Options section of the dialog box.
Scale Factor: uses the relationship between paper distance and drawing distance to print a scaled version of the selected view, centered on the center of the view. For example, to print at "1/8th scale", many ways to describe it exist:
|
· |
Paper distance = |
1/8" |
and |
Drawing distance = |
1’ |
|
· |
Paper distance = |
1/8 |
and |
Drawing distance = |
12 |
|
· |
Paper distance = |
1 |
and |
Drawing distance = |
96 |
