Print Report - Concepts

The Print command sends the current report to any Windows™ printer or plotter (including MDI and/or PDF if installed). Each page is printed at a one-to-one scale (1" or 1 mm on the page = 1" or 1 mm on the printed output), regardless of the selected media size.

The report format and output are unique to AGi32. There is no correlation between report entities and CAD entities. Therefore, Reports cannot be exported to a suitable CAD format. However, you may export the data contained in Model Mode in DXF or DWG file format for compatibility with CAD software.

Windows printers

AGi32 will print or plot to any Windows printer or plotter, as well as to the Adobe™ Acrobat PDF Printer and Microsoft Document Imaging (MDI). There is generally little preparation needed to print. AGi32 references the default settings (including paper size, rotation, quality, etc.) for all Windows printers. The user may change the paper size and orientation, or configure the printer properties to write to a file. When selecting a plotter, you may need to configure additional properties, such as pen configuration, print quality, paper source, etc.

Print Preview

Based on the current print specifications, Print Preview will display the report pages one at a time as they will appear printed. When multiple pages exist, users can scroll through the pages using the slide-show controls in the dialog.

Print Details

The Print Details dialog appears after the Print button is selected. This dialog allows you to select the number of copies to print and which pages will be printed when AGi32 is breaking the output into multiple pages. You can select a range of pages by entering the page numbers separated by a hyphen (e.g., 6-10), or assorted pages by separating the page numbers with commas (e.g., 5,7,11,12,15).
