Printing a view
Printing a view
To print a document, do the following:
- Select the view that is to be printed
- Select the menu item File | Print (or the Print button in the toolbar)
- Input the desired printer driver and settings in the dialog box that is displayed
- Select the OK button
Depending on printer driver, the view may also be saved to a file (usually in PostScript format).
IDA Modeler does not print 3D views by itself. Instead it saves the image to a temporary graphical file (in TIFF format) and calls the associated program to print it. In the standard configuration, Windows first show a preview of the graphical file and the user has to click "Print" button to print it.
By default, IDA Modeler generates the TIFF file with resolution 3 times higher than the screen resolution (i.e., magnification=3). To use a different magnification, keep the Shift key pressed when selecting the menu item Print (or Print button in the toolbar). IDA Modeler will ask you to provide the required magnification.
