This tab enables management of printouts in Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing; it presents the list of all printouts defined in the Autodesk AutoCAD Structural Detailing project.
Printouts are presented together with a set of views. The printout list contains all the printouts, even those which do not include any views. The structure of user-defined printouts and views is shown in a form of a tree. Due to logical reasons, views are placed in a printout, however, the tree also includes an intermediate level, so that it is obvious to which document given views belong. If the printout layout is active, then the icon of a printout corresponding to the active printout layout displays in red.
When printouts provided on the list are selected, only elements of one printout may be selected at a time - it is impossible to select elements of two different printouts. Selection of the printout in the dialog is synchronized with the graphic editor - an appropriate drawing displays.
The top part of the dialog contains two icons that enable presentation of the existing positions in the tree in the following modes:
-
model mode
-
drawing mode.
The context menu (accessed by right-clicking the Printouts tab), includes several options used to perform operations on selected printouts:
