Preview

and colors can be checked in preview. You can also copy the preview picture

Print print file or PDF file
Select this option if you
want to print to a print file
or a PDF file. Enter the name of the print file in the field. You
can select the print folder by clicking the 
button next to the field.
The program will automatically add the .plt or .pdf extension. If
no print directory has been defined, the program will print to the directory
defined in the file
settings. If no print directory has been defined, the
program will print to the User
files directory.
PLT and PDF prints paper size
Paper size is selected the same way as if printing to paper. If the print area is smaller than the selected paper size, the PLT driver will automatically remove the empty trailers. If it does not work, either the driver is not capable of doing that (Windows driver needs to be updated) or the automatic cutter is switched off in the Windows printer settings. By default, empty trailers are not removed from PDF files. Empty trailers can be removed by selecting Remove empty trailers from PDF-print in print settings dialog.
File name
You can set the print file name to be set automatically according to an attribute of a certain symbol in the drawing.
Do the following:

Select Print file or Print PDF.
-
Select Define file name by symbol and attributes.
-
Click Set.
-
Select a symbol in the symbol list, or type the symbol name in the field.
