Printing to dialog box

Printing to dialog box

This box, called from the Print Diagram option in the File menu, gives you the choice of printing the full diagram or only the part displayed in the current window. If the former option is selected, the diagram is reduced so that it fits onto the printed page. (Note that you can enlarge or reduce the current window’s display using the Zoom option in the View menu or Toolbar.)


The name of the printer and the PC port through which it is accessed are specified in the header of this window. Pressing the Setup button opens a Print Setup window that allows you to nominate another printer, change printing properties and the page size, paper source and orientation.

You can also change the font size, if this is too big or small, using the Font Scaling Factor.

Press the OK button to print the diagram.

If you have Adobe Acrobat or another PDF creation program installed, it is best to create a PDF file, which can be printed on any printer.
