Printing

[DavidB]

I've been reading the Forum search about the problems X has with printing.I needed to print my first page from X today and it does not work.

Is it working for you guys now with Sp1?

Or is it still not right?

 

When I went to print preview half was missing the funny thing was the other half got printed.

it would be great if you could print screen of your monitor, scan the printed doc and display it here but its way too much work.....

[DavidB]

Funny you say that.I had a drawing of a tool I needed custom made, it was dimensioned for the Tool grinder. I could not get it to print from MCX. So I did a Print screen and pasted it into Paint. But Im running duel monitors so I got a pic of both screens.

 

The Tool grinder rep was laughing.

LOL!

It's a good thing you noticed it, David. He would've charged you twice as much.

 

David, try changing your graphics background color to anything but black, then while still in the colors page, click "customize" and select black. Now see if you can print. Printing has a problem with the color 0 for background. Now your background appears black, but it isn't color 0.

I solve my print problems with Thad recomendations however I cann no´t get that MC takes the same configuration than my standar printer.

Every time that I wan´t to print I need to "Page Setup"

No problems here, BUT I am using the Gradient Background colors of #241 & #255.

 

Another programmer here was having alot of problems with printing, his Background was set to 0. He changed Background to #255 and problems went away.

 

We are running X,SP1 with update1.

[Bill]

Yes its working except for multiple view windows.

[LaszloK]

It is working much better after sp1 but the dimensions are not as bold as the notes are.

[DavidB]

I have 7 solids on my screen and some dimensions.The dimensions print the solids dont.I tried shaded and unshaded.V9 use to ask if you want the solids shaded?

Does MCX have a prob printing solids?

I did this and no change only printing dimensions.

I too was only getting dimensions at the printer. Made the following change and fixed that problem for me:

 

Settings, Configuration, Printing, Color (checked ON).

 

Printing in X is still unsatisfactory since I don't always want color output, and random line widths (sometimes so light they can barely be seen). I'm using an HP Deskjet 6540. I hope printed output improves with MR1.

One of the other problems is printing to scale, i have to set mine between 105% and 108% depending on the size i need to fit on 8 1/2 x 11 paper i havn't even tryed my 11 x 17 yet?

Hope this gets sorted in the maintanace release..

I'm printing at 1.013 scale to get 1:1
