Selects objects for 3D printing and specifies their output scale or size.
3DPRINTSERVICE (Command) Find
The 3D Print Options dialog box is displayed when you use the 3DPRINT or 3DPRINTSERVICE commands. You can view and modify the size or specify the scale of output without affecting overall proportions.
When you select blocks or external references (xrefs) that contain a mixture of object types, only 3D solids and watertight mesh objects are saved in the STL file or sent to Print Studio (if previously installed). Other objects are discarded.
The following options are displayed.
