Printouts

The Printouts 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, for the users convenience, 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 is presented in red color.

Printouts provided on the list are selected by selecting them (take note that 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 on the screen.

Access the context menu by right-clicking the Printouts tab. The menu contains several options for performing operations on selected printouts:

• Change name - choosing this command enables changing the name of a highlighted printout (the name is entered to the command line)
• Delete - choosing this command results in removal of selected printouts from a project
• Activate - choosing this command causes the highlighted printout to become active (visible)
• Unload printout - choosing this command causes the selected printout to be excluded from the list of available printouts
• Save printout - choosing this command enables saving the selected printout as a *.dwg file
• Save all printouts - choosing this command enables saving all the printouts in a *.dwg file
• Add printout - selecting this command adds an empty printout to the project (the name is entered to the command line).
