Printing composite drawings
Use the Print Drawings command to select and print drawing sheets from multiple QY CAD draft documents. You also can set up a print job without actually opening a draft document.
You can:
-
Print a composite drawing, combining individual working sheets from different draft documents. You can create a composite drawing consisting of different sheet sizes on a single page. You can combine sheets from managed and unmanaged draft documents.
-
Combine individual working sheets from different managed and unmanaged draft documents to create a composite drawing.
-
Use automatic sheet layout.
-
Print a single sheet, multiple sheets, or a continuous spool of paper.
-
Print vertical and horizontal cut lines to aid in cutting the printed sheet.
-
Schedule the print-ready output for printing at a later time by printing to a file.
-
You can review the log files generated by the Print Drawings command. Each log file uses a naming convention of the format PrintDrawings_<timestamp>.log. The default location for log files is determined on the File Locations page (QY CAD Options dialog box).
-
The following equation is used to determine the plotfile size:
(Plot_Width x Plot_Length x Plotter_DI^2 x 3)/8
If this number is bigger than the maximum defined in the dialog box, a raster scaling is done on the maximum size.
