To add a print drawing
NOTE: You can see the number of the new print drawing when you select its design frame — see Step 3.
The Print Frame Placement dialog box appears.
Selecting a design frame for the new print drawing. Note that in the lower left corner of the dialog box, the position of the new print drawing is displayed (dimmed) followed by the total number of pages in the print presentation. The total number of pages includes the page you are creating.
The Print Frame Placement dialog box appears.
Predefined name Lists the names of all predefined rectangular areas which have been incorporated in the selected design frame.
1up Lists the 1ups and/or layout drawings to be placed in the respective predefined rectangular areas. Each column field is a list. To assign a 1up or a layout to a predefined rectangular area, click in the respective field to open the list, and then select the 1up or layout that you want.
3D Snapshots (Available only if a 3D drawing is selected in the corresponding 1up column field.) Lists the names of the available 3D snapshots. To assign a snapshot, click in the respective field to open the list, and select the one you want.
Show dimensions Makes visible, in the printed document, the dimensions in the 1up and/or layout drawings.
Show annotation objects Makes visible, in the printed document, any notes added to the respective drawing and part of the Annotations layer.
IMPORTANT: Select this check box if you want to see arrow annotations (see below).
Hide flute symbol Makes invisible, in the printed document, the symbol that indicates the direction of the flute or grain.
Show arrow annotations Makes visible, in the printed document, the arrow notes that have been added in the 1up drawing.
Show currently hidden layer objects Makes visible, in the printed document, layer objects that have been added to the 1up but were made invisible — for example, to unclutter the view.
Hide style symbols The print drawing will not display style symbols (if any have been added to the underlying drawing).
Show nicks Displays nicks if any have been placed into the 1up.
Hide nick symbols Settings for whether nick symbols will be displayed in the print drawing. The options are Always (nick symbols are never displayed); Never (nick symbols are always displayed); If all nicks share a width (nick symbols are NOT displayed only if ALL the nicks in the drawing have the same width).
Scale Group The name of the scale group that you want to assign to the print drawing part. The scaling applied to the largest part in the group will be applied to all grouped parts.
TIP: For new groups, type a name; for existing groups, select a name from the drop-down list.
IMPORTANT: To use the Scale Group functionality, ensure that in Placement you have selected the Fit to rectangle option.
Image Quality (DPI) (Available when the 3D drawing is selected in the table) Sets graphic quality value for the 3D image.
Transparent shot (3D drawings) In snapshots of 3D drawings, makes transparent the area surrounding the 3D model. This allows the area to appear in the color of the graphical area. The functionality is especially useful for white 3D models, when it is a good idea to change the color of the graphical area to make white 3D models stand out.
The new print drawing opens with the selected design frame. Note that the drawing's tab has the default name — Print — and in brackets the print drawing's position in the print presentation is displayed.
