Print the frames

When printing, you need to define the printer to which you want to print and how you want to print. You can also define, for example, the style i.e. the color and line width and the scale for printing.

Typically, the scale used in print mode is 1:1. In print mode, the viewport was already scaled so that the building fits on the paper and the paper, in turn, was drawn with real measurements.

When printing into a print file (PLT) or PDF, you can also select the path to where the file is stored.

When printing arrangement drawing frames, it is best to use the function designed exactly for that. The Print frames from drawing function allows you to print all frames from the selected drawings at once.

Do the following:

Select File > Print > Print frames from drawings. The Print frames from drawings dialogs opens.
Select [CADMATIC directory]\Samples\Electrical\Layout exercise\ELEC_2100.drw.
Click Open. The Print frames from drawings dialog opens.
Select the printer.
For Paper, select A1 or select a paper size that fits the largest frame on the drawing.
For Print style table, select BW.
For Scale, select Drawing sheet scale.
Select Print file.
Select Print PDF and Combine each drawing into single PDF file.
For Print directory, select Drawing directory\PLT.
Print the frames by clicking OK.

Tip: You can open the drawing directory with the key combination Ctrl + E.
