Printing shaded solids in X

[dprovost71]

Anyone know if they are fixing the printing problem in X2. My printer will print the wire frame fine but will output a blank page when I turn on the solids. V9 there wasn't any problem.

 

Is there a work around that anyone knows?

dprovost71,

 

Follow the suggestions that McamNut linked to. Beyond those, send me the file and I'll see if I can get it to print on our machine in the office. Or you could call and I can start a remote support session over the internet with you. How has everyone been. I haven't heard from you in a while. HTH

Hi Pete,

All is well, we have slowed a bit.

You must be pretty busy with training.

 

I tried printing to a pdf using the freebie offered in a previous thread...Cutepdf and it works. Its an okay workaround and it just might be the solution if we ever do go paperless.

Thanks all. I look forward to X2. MCX has been great...very stable. Most problems have come from mcx setup issues which I will deem as human error.

I can't seem to print anymore either...

 

Setup sheets work good....but whenever I try to print a shaded model in X, the filesize is always, 89.2 megs.....

 

My printer runs out of memory, i am guessing cause I don't know, but it just fails to print. .......

 

I have to use ver 9 to get the file down to a workable size....

 

Come on X2!!!

Ok, another issue I have with printing solids and surfaces is, there is no choice to print shaded or not shadded. In V.9 you would uncheck shaded and it would still print the wireframe of the surfaces. That way you don't have your ink cartridge going empty all the time and you could still where the surfaces are. Is there a setting in X to do this?

b_daddy,

I turn off shading on screen before hitting print. Printing 11x17 is a crap shoot in X and never prints at scale, just comes out blank. V9 worked flawless, sure hope X2 works better.

in the past what fixed my print problems was changing the backgeound colour from black, and go to print preview and print from that page. I dont have that problem anymore, but thats what I had to do in the past.
